I'm with Matt on this....talk about shooting yourself in the foot....


Matt Davison ‏<s>@</s>Matt_Davison No idea why the <s>#</s>B1G limits travel squad in non-con to just 70 players. Why handicap your own conference? I haven't heard a good explanation

It has to be financial right? (Cost of travel)

An attempt to help even the playing field for lower revenue programs?

Likely something like this.

Remember the gas conservation days in Nebraska (was it late 70's)? State patrolmen gave tickets for "wasting finite resources."

Maybe this is the B10's attempt at "going green?"

Hey, look at the bright side. Without a lot of backups, there is a built in excuse to run up the score.

Suspect if Rex is traveling we may see him play some...

this is from last year

http://en.allexperts.com/q/College-Football-2792/2011/8/d-1a-limit-football.htm

Many Conferences such as the Big 10, ACC and others have set conference travel limits to 72 players While the WAC limits its travel squads to 64. The NCAA Football Playing Rules do not address this issue as it is an NCAA administrative regulation not a playing rule.

...and this year
http://en.allexperts.com/q/College-Football-2792/2011/7/big-10-football-travel.htm

Some conferences have a 72-man limit on travel rosters such as the ACC. The Big Ten Conference effective this year, in 2011- the travel squad will be capped at 70 players.

The limit to travel squad memebers is done on a conference by conference basis the vast majority limit travel squads from 60-70 squadmembers and many limit the number of dressed home game squad members. NCAA Admin. NCAA By-law Rule 17.11 governs the size. D-1A Squads are imited to 105 squad size amd D-1AA is limited to 90. As far as travel only 56 squad members can travel the D-1AA level (63 for D-III).
