Can’t find the correct thread to post this but Iowa is not alone in suffering effects of the settlement requiring programs to shed spots.

LAS VEGAS — Arizona and Arizona State are expected to lose 140 combined roster positions across their sports teams if the settlement terms of a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against the NCAA are approved this spring.

Wildcats athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois and her ASU counterpart, Graham Rossini, revealed the downsizing moves on Wednesday during a seminar in Las Vegas.

Each stated their department would lose 70 participants — not scholarship athletes but participants. That’s an important distinction competitively but doesn’t make either athletic director feel better about the situation.
