D1 rosters during the championship season cannot exceed 35. That includes RS players. They are all allowed to practice with the team.

Some of those players with scholarships may not make the team for becoming ineligible, it's inevitable that this happens in all programs.

If you see 43 on a D1 roster, just remember only 27 can have athletic scholarships, everyone else is a walk on, even those with academic scholarships.  Some coaches like big fall rosters, breeds competition.

If you don't make the spring roster, you are off the team.

To TPM's point I have seen the cut down to 35 handled all sorts of ways. The programs who do it right IMO make it clear to kids after fall that they don't have a role for them or their role will be limited.  Allows plenty of first and sometimes second year kids transfer (most often to juco) at semester. 

However I have seen several have 38-40 come back in Spring which I do have an issue with. Realistically only the top 25 or so play each Spring so no reason to split hairs on back end of roster

This from the D1 perspective
