Sacred Heart University, a Division 1 school, is said to have opted into the NCAA revenue sharing deal online. However, their cross country roster is still pretty large (~40), surpassing the allowed 17. Also, they just recruited about 10-11 new freshmen runners, which you can look at on their roster to see or go on Runcruit and look and their recruiting class and see on the men's side, that recruiting number is on par with the # of people they have on their team currently (10 people per year x 4=40)
From my understanding that means they aren't planning on downsizing the team?
Im just really confused, it seems like it's good news but I don't understand how it's allowed and i'm curious... is there some sort of technicality, loophole or exception here that lets them exceed 17 limit? Is it possible to opt in for some sports and opt out for others or something?
