A little hope for CV

[Ajs120102]

Wouldn’t count on it. But a chance

 

[Zanzman]

Sounds like a participation trophy

 

[CL82]

I wonder if he would actually return?

 

[7774]

Sounds like a participation trophy

It might if you don't understand what the term participation trophy means.

 

[Wise2]

You assume that CV would even want to come back. I think he would rather earn a pay check

 

[Dabutlerdidit]

Sniper is out

 

[Zanzman]

It might if you don't understand what the term participation trophy means.

I do and I’m right let them play another year cause the tourney got canceled life goes on move on

 

[Candyman]

Then they would have to expand scholarships. Def not happening.

 

[AD DB Burner]

I’m usually all for anything that will benefit the players, but this is dumb. They just played an entire regular season. It’s not like the season was cut short in November.

 

[CL82]

Then they would have to expand scholarships. Def not happening.

I guess they could make it a hardship basis and still keep the cap is. That would still be problematic though. I agree with you it’s not going to happen.

 

[navery12]

This seems like a real stretch, and not convinced CV would want to come back anyway. But imagine if he does...

 

[UofCT]

Let’s put him in husky of honor.

There is a better chance of the Easter Bunny delivering Christmas presents than this happening.

A month ago you would have said the same thing about March Madness shutting down, NBA shutting down, MLB shutting down, NHL shutting down. Heck a couple nights ago you probably would've said the same thing.

Life isn't fair better to learn that now before entering the real world

What a needlessly callous attitude.

 

[87Xfer]

Then you'd have incoming freshmen who made recruiting choices based on potential playing time, which is estimated in part on seniors leaving. I expect there would be some who would make noise about now wanting to go elsewhere, and they would have a legit gripe. Sounds like a mess the NCAA won't want to me.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Maybe they will let Ray Allen return for his senior year while they are at it?

 

[Ajs120102]

Geno just came out in favor of it

 

[TRest]

We literally don’t have the available scholarship, correct?

 

[August_West]

That will never happen. Ever. The NCAA charade is its about academics and scholarships. That’s player “ payment” . CV got four years of college. NCAA goes away from that there is a huge legal can of worms opened.

 

[tzznandrew]

They'd have to essentially allow schools to expand the number of scholarship players to make it work. It might also force difficult conversations because kids sign on expecting people to be gone, etc.

I'm not necessarily opposed to it or anything, but there's a lot to think about before they did it.

 

[gampelcrazies]

I know people are upset but if you do this then you have to erase the season for everyone. Why should CV get an extra year but not Gaffney? Both players had the opportunity taken away. It’s just not going to happen.

 

[imno1]

Sniper loves UConn but I think he is ready to move on. There is no doubt in my mind that CV thinks he can make an NBA roster.

 

[Huskybass]

I don't think there is any real chance that Seniors will be given an additional season, especially after playing 30 plus games this season. That's just my opinion. Spring sports are a whole different discussion. I would advocate them getting another season.

The interesting twist would be if Vital was able to return and ultimately break the UConn all time scoring record.

i don’t get how this would work in conjunction with 5th year transfer rules. Imagine a free for all on all graduating seniors...

 

[gtcam]

Let’s put him in husky of honor.

If he wasn't put in if this didn't happen it would be criminal
He will be there - no doubt
Look at his stats playing less games than some up there with less around him
A sparkling career for a great young man
He will be missed

Yeah I imagine they would not let them be eligible for this with the waiver.

I would love it cause we could really, really use CV next year. But it won't happen. Even if they wanted to (they don't), Emmert does not possess this kind of forward nor lateral thinking to pull this off. Pure bureaucrat.

 

[Spaceman213J]

What I would like to see is the group of kids who played 1 or 2 or 3... over the threshold and then got injured (and thus wouldn't get a redshirt year), get to petition and if they are within 4 games or so of the threshold, would gain that year of eligibility back.
