Division I roster cap 30 from 2025-26: last season 1 programs carried more, 1 were exactly at it and 2 had room. Players already on a roster may stay, so the squeeze lands on the next classes. How the caps work.
Odds: 2.3% of high-school players hold an NCAA roster spot (1 in 43); 1 in 650 (0.15%) in Division I. Transfers and international players hold some of those spots. The honest version · every sport.
