per Greder:
The Gophers have been given permission to go over the 85-scholarship limit this season. They currently are at approximately 95, but must get back down to 85 next season. With transfers allowed the freedom to go to other schools one time without having to sit out, plus players being eligible to go the NFL after three seasons, Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck said it has made for a more-complex roster management situation, and he speculated some programs could lose up to 60 players in a year.
“We want to play these guys in four” games, Fleck said of the limit to keep a redshirt season for players. “But the roster management part of that — who’s leaving, who’s staying and the fluidity of that — is very different this year than it normally has been. I think it’s harder to do that than it’s ever been. But if we’ve got guys who can play, we’re going to play ’em.”
