The new football limit on roster size is 105. All can be on scholarship, but a school can determine how many they want.
Would it be advantageous for a school like Iowa State to say we are only going to offer full scholarships to, say, 65 players. The other 50 will be walkons or partials. Then annually take the football portion of the 22 million "salary" and give it exclusively to the 65 on a yearly basis. It wouldn't get us the top dogs, but would allow us to play better for the 2nd tier of college athlete. Pay more for a smaller roster.
