5 year proposal... ? support or oppose

So athletes will now get up to 5 years of scholarships on top of NIL and NCAA-divvied payments.
When's the last time we heard of a player flunking off a team? We know why.
What a shame that higher learning institutions have become higher earning institutions.
 
5 to play 5 with an age cap is the best current compromise. As soon as you're enrolled your clock starts. I feel like they need to make a simple clearcut rule so when it does get challenged by lawyers it becomes really simple. Right now part of their problem is making exceptions and then everyone expects the same exception
 
There needs to be a legit legal reason why they could put any limit on eligibility at all. Age and physical maturity is it. The courts look like they would support that. Thats what this plan is based on. Surviving a court challenge. Plus it simplifies everything.
 
I oppose. I understand that not everyone graduates in 4 years. But the players being paid in big-time college football and basketball need to be limited to 4 playing years, with one redshirt or medical year max. You took six years to graduate? Great, you had two years where sports weren't distracting you. Injured two years? Sorry, you play 3. I'd also favor 2 year commitments from any HS entry, only one transfer after either sophomore or junior year. This shopping year to year to the highest bidder is ridiculous. Not even pro sports have unlimited unrestricted free agency after one year. The current system is a minor league program and a free-for-all, not college at all.

But I'm old-fashioned, so what do I know.

Looks like it is passing but not retroactive. No Tarris Reed oh well. LOL!

NCAA president Charlie Baker told ESPN in a phone interview Monday that the implementation, which had been uncertain, is not expected to include athletes who graduated or exhausted their eligibility in the 2025-26 season.

"If you've used up your eligibility, you've used it up," Baker told ESPN of the tenor of the discussion of the Division I board of directors on Monday.

As I said in the other post, my daughters coaches have been telling her this would be the case.
 
Purely speculative on my part but, if the NCAA adopts the 5 in 5 rule and Solo is healthy enough by next March, maybe we’ll see him back for tourney time and he’ll still have all of 2026/27 to improve his draft stock. Even if he is only coming off the bench for stretches, that gives us an experienced 3 point sharpshooter to help counter those oversized front lines. Can only hope.
 
If this passes, it’d be interesting to see how this affects Solo Ball. If he’s healthy, there’d be no reason for him to sit out a full year. I doubt he’d all of a sudden be healthy enough to play start of the year, but it wouldn’t be surprising to me if he tried coming back mid-season. Especially if there’s an injury or underperformer among the starters.
