NCAA Eligibility states that a student-athlete has 5 years to play 4 seasons of eligibility. For the next next 6 years, kids now have 6 years to play 5 years of eligibility.
The 2021 season is going to present a massive log jam of players on rosters. How is the NCAA going to fix this or will it just play itself out over the years?
Ex: A D1 program could potentially not lose one player after this season due to this years eligibility not counting. What happens w all these incoming freshman that signed LOI to come ply for you?
* QB at Miami,Fl just played his red-shirt SR season. He just announced, bc this year didn’t count, he will be back for a 6th year. The coaches didn’t anticipate him returning and replaced his scholarship w an incoming QB. Does that QB now not have a scholarship?
Ex: the D3 level is going to see some 200+ rosters.
*If I’m a D3 coach-I am grey shirting loads of kids. Would allow them to go through pre-season camp and then tell them to lift during the season and you will be back on the team come spring. 99% chance this is going to be a wasted year of eligibility otherwise.
