SEC Increases Scholarship Limit, Boosts Roster Construction

SEC teams, including the Texas Longhorns, gain a significant advantage with the increased scholarship limit from 85 to 105 players. This change levels the playing field, allowing SEC schools to pursue more talent and build depth across the roster, especially in areas like the offensive line and running back room. The new rule also enables teams to be more aggressive in the transfer portal, positioning SEC teams, particularly those with strong brands and NIL backing, to become even more formidable players in acquiring top talent.
