Clark Lea considers roster additions for Vanderbilt football after court ruling
Summary

Clark Lea, head coach of Vanderbilt football, expressed openness to adding players to the roster following a Colorado court ruling. The ruling grants a fifth year of eligibility to certain players from the high school class of 2022, but does not create an additional transfer window or adjustments to roster limits. Currently, Vanderbilt has 115 players, exceeding the limit of 105. Although opportunities for adding players exist, Lea stated he will not cut current players to make room. The next steps involve clarifying eligibility related to the recent ruling.
