I've been looking at these fish and I'm getting a lot of different info on minimum tank size. I've read that 125 is a minimum and I've also read 75 minimum. What do you all think about a Scopus in a 100g?

It’s in the same family as a yellow tang so whatever you would use for a yellow tang use for this.

For yellow tangs depends on who you ask but in the 75 - 100 minimum gallon range.

Personally I think the desjardin Red Sea sailfin tang has more color.
 
Liveaquaria list scopas tang can grow up to 12inch while yellow grow up to 8 inch. 8–>12 is a big difference.

I have a small purple in a 4ft 65g now .Obviously I’m not following the strict recommendation . Hope tang police don’t show up at my door tonight. When the tang outgrow the tank, I’ll figure something . Hopefully it will be many years down the road.
