Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3754622, member: 5823"] The NCAA opt out guidelines issued in August covered fall (1 semester) sports and there have been a number football players who originally opted out and opted back in and were allowed to play . AEH originally opted out due to COVID. What remains unclear is if the NCAA will allow her to opt back in for a "semester" especially considering that the players and tier 1 staff that opted in have been under COVID-19 monitoring and protocols since the minute they returned to campus. It's even murkier because the NCAA might just leave it up to Seton Hall to decide if they want to take this risk. What is clear as you have stated is AEH must play next semester to be granted the extra year of eligibility (Total of 5 years) under the NCAA special COVID rule. Even if AEH does not play next semester, she is still eligible to play the 21-22 season at Seton Hall because she has only used up 3 years (1 UCONN +2 at MSU) of her original 4 years of eligibility and she has completed her undergraduate degree. [B]After[/B] she has used up all 4 years of her original eligibility (1@UCONN, 2 @MSU, 1@Seton Hall) she can still petition the NCAA for a 5 year of eligibility because she only played in 7 games while at UCONN.
