Does anyone know what the restrictions are for travel squad size for D1 and does it apply to fall games?

You are allowed to travel 20 players.

It is not clear if this applies to fall games, but that is why each college has a NCAA Compliance Officer to get those answers.

My DD’s school only travels with 18 in the spring. They travel with all for fall games.

I believe the number is a conference decision.

I also believe that the NCAA tournament can be different than conference rules.

I ALSO believe that more players are currently allowed to travel due to the super seniors.

DD’s team travelled 23 or so last year.

NCAA D3. In years past, they only travelled 20, and the coach never rostered more than 20 which makes that easy. The issue is $$$$ or lack of money. Hotels, meals, etc. Last year they traveled everyone, but the players were 4 to a room. Fall roster 31....for now.

For playoffs DD’s old school everybody travelled, but I think only 20 suited up. Can’t remember if they were in sweats in the dugout or right behind it.

There were no restrictions in the fall.

For the NCAA tournament the NCAA will pay for 25 girls to travel but only allows 20 girls to dress for the game. It can be a different 20 every game if the coach wants that. I have no idea why they would pay for 25 to travel and then only allow 20 to dress. NCAA covers travel, hotels, and per diem. Both years dd's whole team could travel but 5 girls did not get to dress. I always felt bad for those girls.

From our experience the first two years of college ball there seems to be at least a couple girls on the DL by season's end. The year we went to regionals they took the injured players. Our conference allows 24 to dress so they took all those who had been playing conference.

My dds team has 32 girls right now. Some of them havent traveled for fall games or even dressed for home games. I don't get bringing that many in, but thats not the topic if this post :)
