As it currently stands, FBS schools and all their riches are allowed to carry a maximum of 85 scholarships. FCS schools are allowed 63.
The NCAA preaches equity. Equality. Uniformity regardless of resources. But like @Kenn Rashad and others have pointed out (regarding the HBCUs and the FCS playoff debacle), the NCAA rarely practices what it preaches.
I wonder if the FCS conferences would suggest to the NCAA limiting both subdivisions to 74 scholarships rather than the current 85 limit for FBS and 63 for FCS. The biggest issue would be increased budgets for FCS schools, but that would go a long way toward leveling the playing field. That would leave more quality athletes available to the FCS and HBCUs. And believe it or not, taking 11 schollys away from every FBS school will add up tremendously.
