What I’m wondering is whether she’s covered by the old policy, 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility, or is that incorrect?
She took a redshirt in 2023-2024 and whether or not she plays this year she only has one year left. That would be the 5 to play 4. The Covid year (2020-2021) players like Aubrey have 6 to play 5.

A college athlete would typically be granted a 6th year of eligibility to complete 4 years of play if they experienced significant disruptions to their athletic career due to a serious injury, medical condition, military service, a life-altering family situation, or a pandemic like COVID-19, which would require the NCAA to grant a waiver in most cases; essentially allowing them to compete for an extra year beyond the standard 5-year eligibility window to complete their four seasons of play. Caroline would certainly qualify should she wish to do so. Of course this would mean she could not play at all this season.

If anyone knows anything about medical redshirts and transfers, it would be Zaay Green at Alabama Crimson Tide. She’s been through a rash of injuries and transfers through her career. Began the 2018-19 season at Tennessee.

I hope this means something, if not today, in the near future. That kid deserves some good news. We are all pulling for her.
I know it’s a stretch because she’s been out so long, but if she played like she did her freshman year when Paige got hurt, then she helps this team enormously.

Didn’t Jamie Carey have a couple years extra due to transfer and concussions?

Carey played one year at Stanford, and then sat two years. Then she transferred to Texas, whose doctors were willing to clear her to return to the court when the Stanford medical staff would not. She went on to play three seasons there. So she played four years over a total of six years. Had to get a waiver from the NCAA for that sixth season.

In addition to her concussion problems, she also had a very serious ankle injury at Stanford that would’ve kept her out for a season by itself.

Yes, this goes hand in hand with what I said above. So, if Caroline has the desire to do so, this is available to her. Regardless of how badly I want to see her back on the court, I just hope she thinks long and hard about it.

I am going to post my theory again. The goal with Caroline is to have her ready to play a couple of minutes on senior night.
Put a pin in this one, as I think there's some logic to it (notice I didn't say truth). If so, whatever happens for the remainder of the season is what it is.
