DESTIN, Fla. -- The SEC is considering sponsoring proposed legislation to the NCAA that would cap the number of football players a school could sign at 28.
There are already rules in place that limit the number of signees a school can bring in each year to 25. But that hasn't stopped some coaching staffs from over-signing in February and then whittling that number down by reporting time in August.
"I have not been really concerned about it at the current number," said Slive, noting that most SEC schools had been around the 28 to 30 number in recent years. "But last year, I was really concerned about it when we had one or two that signed a lot of kids. That was a catalyst for these discussions."
