This is interesting. I didn’t know the NCAA had changed the rules. Daniel Connelly is a sportswriter and member of the UConn press corps

There's a good chance that Connolly is wrong. Saying 'I believe it's new' indicates that he probably didn't research it. Use Google AI and put in 'did the ncaa change the injury waiver requirements for 2025-26 basketball to include the 30% rule like football'. The answer is no. I've seen in several places where it was discussed and that the coaches want it but it hasn't been approved yet. The core rule of injury before midseason and season ending remains. The key date looks to be Mar. 7th against St. Johns. Any play after that and it can't be done.

Yes, Connolly is wrong.

Yeah, people like to be the first to claim something before even knowing if it's right. BTW, I screwed up the midseason date with St. Johns. I meant Jan. 7th.

Per the below cut and past from the NCAA, FOOTBALL D1 atheletes can compete for up to four games without using a season of eligibility. For all other D1 sports, ANY competition uses up a season. While there are numerous proposed changes based on law suits and other actions, any short term action is unlikely.
Season of Competition

Generally, NCAA student-athletes are allowed to compete for four seasons in one sport. Division I and II student-athletes who compete for ANY amount of time during a season use up one season in their sport. Division I football student-athletes may compete in up to four contests without using a season of football. Division II football student-athletes who are in their initial year of collegiate enrollment may compete up to three contests without using a season of football. Division III student-athletes who practice or compete after the first date of competition in their sport use up one season in their sport.
