A little hope for CV

Pretty easy fix. each senior gets an extra year not against the cap

So a team with 5 seniors this year get 18 scholarships next year? No way

I don’t think it’s dumb. It just means these seniors played their whole senior seasons for nothing. Their efforts go to waste.

Disagree. The seniors, in every program, just completed a 30 game refular season. They played to win those games and their efforts did not go to waste. The conference tourneys and NCAA's are made for TV extras.

Wow, his development as a player and person has been crazy. It's a testament to CV and Hurley. CV is a stud and will do really well in life.

He’s always been very articulate but the maturity he has now to match is super impressive. Agreed he is going to be a very successful person whatever he does in life.

One of my favorites to ever put UCONN on his chest! I suspect one day his name and number will hang on the wall in Gampel forever.

I LOVE CV, one of my favorite recent huskies. Lets remember though, there are some VERY good UConn players not on up on the wall. I can tell you for a fact they will not put him up there.

Hurleys call
 
I feel for all the seniors who were denied the post season but like a natural disaster, there are always some more affected than others. Allowing seniors another year is a terrible precedent with the exception of possibly giving seniors a 5th year if they haven't already redshirted or transferred. If that was the case, they should also have to stay at their current school.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but how could you possibly know this as fact?
 
Jay Bilas was promoting this idea on the air yesterday saying "it would be the right thing to do".

It’s looking more likely imo. It’ll be up to him if he decides to return.

The NCAA saying "The committee will also discuss issues..." is goshdarn meaningless. Nobody navel gazes like the NCAA.

I just don't see them being able to do it logistically. Unless they upend the entire scholarship structure.

What the hell are they gonna do, give everybody extra scholarships? What if you have four seniors, and then a full compliment coming in? You get 17 players? That means everybody has to get 17 players. Are they allowing decommits then so some schools can poach?

Far better players not on the wall. Realistically speaking, I'm not really even sure he will be given consideration. Remember, I am a big fan of his too, nothing against CV.

If the NCAA allowed it it would still be up to rhe school whether to honorvit since scholarships are on a ywarly eenewal. Besides changing team dynamics wilh incoming freshmen ir would also cost schools a bunch of $$ for scholarships, travel etc.

For spring sports it’s a bit easier proposition since I would think most players would be allows to redshirt for the year provided there were scholarships available. Would some freshman sue because they perceived there future earning potential was diminished.

I'm curious who the far better players are? This kid deserves it as much as anyone. He was an absolutely key piece to the return of real UConn basketball. I would be honored to see his jersey among his fellow stars.

Boatright Villanueva Josh Boone AJ Price Marcus Williams Jeff Adrien all come to mind. I've said this before I am a big fan of Vital but if you want him in there do you want Jalen Adams too? They are comparable players.

As a UConn fan, it's impossible not to love CV. This kid left on top. Given the circumstances, he couldn't have gone out on a higher note. I hope he winds up somewhere great. So great to see his development. Go get em CV.

I think Boat deserves a spot and will get there. Adams falls shy to me for some reason. Just my opinion.

Those "few games" at the end are the ones they work their a$$es off all year to compete in. So yea..they should be given another chance to win a national championship
Expand ...

And people are looking at CV. There are other players out there. Look at Dayton. Worked their asses off to be a #1 seed... the best season in school history. Yeah... those seniors deserve a chance to compete for a championship.

Dude, its a 1 year exemption for a literal act of god. Some minor competitive imbalance is so irrelevant. Its college sports, they DO NOT MATTER in the scale of the enormous world-changing stuff that is happening. grow up, expand your vision.

There’s a big difference between Vital and those guys. If I wasn’t on my phone I would type it out and explain why.

Type it out later. I don't want to type of reasons why he shouldn't. Once again I am a big fan of his as a person and bball player. As Paulie Gualtieri once stated: "I've said my peace, Chrissy"

Check your definition of literal

Adams literally took us into the postseason in 15-16. We can’t forget that. Vital may have done that this year but never had the chance

That’s fine, it’s just not even close to a fact.
 
If they extended it to winter it would be probably be the most competitive year of college basketball in years...having that many seniors returning would elevate the whole country. Some big time recruits may go elsewhere raising the level of play throughout the country and then some mid majors would be outstanding.
