NCAA roster sizes are going to shrink, which Texas Longhorns will be affected?

Following the court ruling that the NCAA could directly pay its players on an annual basis, people have been sitting idly by, waiting for fall out from the decision.

ESPN's Pete Thamel reported on Monday evening that leaders in college sports were nearing a decision on limiting roster sizes, mainly focusing on football and baseball.

Limiting roster sizes has been a hot button topic for the weeks following the House Settlement. One side arguing that it makes sense while the other argues that it will hurt walk-ons and those who most need the scholarship spots.

Clearly, losing walk-on positions and scholarships isn't ideal, for anyone.

Walk-ons become stars and scholarships give students opportunities of their lifetime.

Beyond the loss of football and baseball roster spots, other sports will feel the repercussions of the House Settlement.

The positive is that collegiate athletes will get the money they've long sought after.

The negative is that other sports may receive less funding, more roster spots may be removed, and more injuries will occur.

Thamel went on to say that the process is nowhere near over. A judicial approval process as well as a few other steps still remain but his sources are optimistic about the end of the week.

While everyone will have their opinions, student athletes will be affected, there is no other way to look at it.

Football and baseball are just the beginning. Women's sports will change, men's sports will change, collegiate sports are going to change.
