in addition to softball. Not only will 5 for 5 reduce the need for HS recruits during the next few years, but it also will increase the number athletes getting cut after a season or two. The roster limits also reduce Title 9 roster flexibility. For example, large rosters on women's track and swimming teams have been used for years as Title 9 balancers by many athletic programs to offset the large number of male football players. That can't be done anymore. The top athletes will get more scholarship money and years to play. The good, but not great ones will have fewer opportunities to be a student-athlete, which is a shame.
