Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4289417, member: 7511"] OK, let me go over it again: [LIST] [*]Last season is basically a “do-over” for every college athlete (Covid year). It’s as if it never happened…kind of like the Avengers when the Hulk gets the infinity stones and brings back the other half of everybody in the universe that were eliminated by Thanos when he had the infinity stones. [*]Because last year didn’t count for any college athlete, every athlete in college last year still gets to compete for 4 full seasons. [*]So last year’s seniors got to compete this year if they wanted to. This year’s seniors get to compete next year if they want to. Next year’s seniors get to compete in 2023-24 if they want to. 2023-24 seniors get to compete in 2024-25 if they want to. [*]While all of last year’s athletes get a 5th year of competition, just because they were in college last year, the athletes that get the “short end of the stick” are the HS recruits from 2021-24, who only get 4 years to complete their 4 years of eligibility, which may mean they ride the bench behind 5th year players. [*]After 2024-25, things return to relative normalcy. Everyone has 4 years to complete their eligibility unless they are redshirted due to injury or some other reason. Nobody gets to play 5 years.
