Roster Attrition (Jim Fuller)

[businesslawyer]

Rugg should be eligible for 2 years of playing if he petitions for it. The kid didnt see any playing time 2014 as well as this year.

Not how it works. You can't get a 6th year just because you didn't play in two seasons. Your petition to the NCAA has to be that in both of the years you didn't play you were injured.

If you are a RS junior that hasn't graduated in 4 years, do the new NCAA rules provide you the 5th year or is that at the option of the school? If not, kinda sucks for the player, as so many players are red-shirted as freshman.

As a student athlete you should be planning to graduate in four years, not five. The fifth year is not guaranteed.

My understanding is nothing beyond the current year is guaranteed
