**Eliminate Roster Limits!  At a minimum, setup Phased Rollout & Grandfather Clause.**

Recent talks around the 'House vs. NCAA' case have sparked fears that approval would trigger drastic cuts to college athletics in a variety of sports. Such cuts could undermine the years of hard work currently invested by countless student-athletes currently on rosters. To protect these students and sustain the rich diversity in college sports, we urgently call for the implementation of a grandfather clause. This provision would shield current student-athletes from any potential roster cuts, ensuring their collegiate sporting careers remain untouched, irrespective of the decision on 'House vs. NCAA'. 

According to NCAA data, there are nearly half a million college athletes making up the 19,500 teams who could be affected if this case were to pass without a grandfather clause build in (source: NCAA). Clearly, the stakes are high, and the need for protection is urgent. We must advocate for these athletes who've dedicated their collegiate careers to the growth and prosperity of their chosen sports. We have an obligation to these student-athletes, who have invested years into their college careers, to stand up and protect their interests. They deserve the right to finish what they started.

For the sake of fairness, for the sake of sportsmanship, and for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of student-athletes who may be placed in an uncertain predicament, we must implement a grandfather clause in the NCAA. Please join us in shielding our student-athletes from drastic cuts and sign this petition today.
