FCS teams only get 63 scholarship players.... which translates to 16 per year (vs 85/25 at FBS). So the 'lower tier' programs have fewer spots to offer.

Shuffling players doesn’t mean fewer scholarships unless a ton of players start using RS/5th year grad transfers

There are more players in the portal than total number of scholarships available
