What you are probably remembering is when the NEC recently went from 30 scholarship limit for football to the 45 they are today.

right, I thought that was 3 years ago & this was the 4th year and I thought they then going to the full 63. I was just reading the original proposal. The conference teams back down their number of grants-in-aid to 18 and adds that to the 45 scholarships, bringing the total to 63. So in effect they do have their 63 scholarship equivalent. I do not think that grants-in-aid are based on sport, but rather income. So the schools probably do not have to use them for football players.
