NCAA grants extra year of eligibility

[CaneSince4Ever]

Have a feeling next year coaches are going to deliver a ton of tough news to marginal contributors who've lived and died for their team. It's going to be awful.

A coach can't cut a kid if He/She doesn't perform as expected, the NCAA passed that rule 5 years ago. Think about it, when's the last time that you know of that we've Steven Wesley'd a kid...

An issue that may arise is will a starter from one team want or go to a loaded team and maybe have to ride the pine.

Or you can get kids that suck in the classroom, and end up like FSU with APR issues.

No doubt. Opening up Pandora's box. Never ceases to amaze me that "adults" make decisions seemingly without considering the consequences.

No but a kid who graduates and still has eligibility left can be told thanks but no thanks.

Think Mike Smith.

 

[LoungeLord]

Exactly. Not sure why ppl are saying this is a plot by the NCAA to pressure the 3 playing conferences to not play.

If a kid can't play, he shouldn't lose a year. That makes sense.

But there’s still a school year, people graduate, freshman come to college. Are they really pretending you can just put this in the freezer for a year? A deeper dive shows a logistical nightmare.

Think Mike Smith.

Actually, Mike exhausted His eligibility, red-shirted His true freshman season and saw action His last 4 years. Scholarships are basically guaranteed, but playing time isn't.

That’s the entire point.

He was a 5th year senior who’s graduated. We honored our commitment.

If they maintain a hard 85 scholarship number and we want to add 25, who is going to go if everyone who qualifies gets an extra red shirt?

A guy like Mike Smith.

maybe we can steal some Wisconsin lineman

The conferences that cancelled will not allow a change of the 85/25 rules. If they change those rules, those conferences will be absolutely gutted of their best players.

 

[Brains]

This is unreal. Why do some people even entertain the notion that the NCAA is going to allow teams to sign over 85? It's not happening. They are just going to grandfather the players who are on scholarship but miss the season. They're not going to allow extra signings. There will be over 85 players on scholarship until those players' eligibility expires. But only those players.

Nope, Mike Smith wouldn't have been cut in that situation.

A Student-Athlete gets 5 years to play 4, they can't penalize you just because you graduated, not unless they wanna get sued.

You are mistaken:

Ivy denies 5th year of eligibility for spring athletes

The Ivy League has decided not to allow its spring-sport athletes to have an additional year of eligibility. The AP is reporting that before the announcement, nearly 70 Ivy League senior spring-sport athletes already had entered the transfer portal.

Fifth-year senior not returning for 2020 Auburn football season

AUBURN, Alabama—The Auburn football team, which moved from voluntary summer workouts to mandatory sessions this week preparing for the 2020 season, will take the field

“What we tried to do was encourage our seniors to go ahead and, if you're going to graduate, graduate and move on with your life," Alvarez said. "We appreciate everything that you've done. But move forward. The future is in question, and we can't promise you anything."

The key is if they raise the 85 scholarship cap. If they don't, the teams not participating this year will have to push a lot of the SRs out or they wont be able to bring in much of a 2021 recruiting class.

I realize this is a very technical distinction, but the simple solution is that you don't count the kids who would have exhausted eligibility against the 85.

What does that mean (assuming that nobody plays football this fall)?

It means, the NCAA is not just going to give every university a roster of 110 next year.

Instead, they will look at things and say "Miami had 8 seniors who were about to play their final year of eligibility, therefore THOSE 8 will NOT count against the 85 counter limit for the 2021-2022 school year. We might want to un-redshirt Navaughn Donaldson.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

They will, but it will just be for those already in. So, they are not just going to give everyone 30 extra scholarships. Then, as each of the eligible players leaves, it will slowly revert to 85 at a time.

For the next 5 years, all students who are in their final year of eligibility do NOT count on the 85. Easy fix. Allows the numbers to come back to normal based on whatever anyone's class size is. Some years, you may have more exempt seniors than in other years. It also "encourages" schools to keep kids rather than force them out to manage roster size.

Very lawyerly, this.

The NCAA’s little tumbe is coming to an end. The only good thing to come out of this COVID is all the parasites in our country are coming out into the light. **** those cartel guarding useless ********.

Not every "tumbe" goes as planned...
