I really doubt they are at 80.

Eh depends on how you look at it. The 80 would be those on scholarship not counting any possible 5th year guys. The 87 includes everyone that has eligibility left. Nothing has been announced on 5th year guys but Watt, Martin, Fox, and Calabrese will be back to get it to 84. The last one could go to a walk on senior or another 5th year guy to provide depth.

You can say that about any team. ND will be at 85 in the fall, just like everyone else that didn't cheat.

I can see being over by 2-5 max. Every school has attrition. But 10 over? Cmon! For me its not even the conpetitive advantage. I think its bs to just drop a kid who worked all his life for a chance to play on scholorship.
