Scholarship table
Where do you see that?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/10/14/ncaa-winter-sports-extra-eligibility/"For fall sports, seniors who return for an extra season during the 2021-22 academic year will not count toward the team’s scholarship limit. However, in the years that follow, schools cannot exceed the limit, even though athletes on the team still would be allowed extra eligibility. In those cases, if schools choose to let athletes use their extra season of eligibility, it would effectively take away that scholarship from incoming recruits. The Division I Council’s announcement did not specify whether those same rules would be applied for winter sports."Logically, there is no reason to comment on years after 2021-22 if this only applied to seniors.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
No I don't think so. I think it's everyone.
O'tule can finally come back for his tenth season.
So this means we get one more year out of Wade, right?
Should Perez immediately apply for a waiver to play this season? It seems to me it would be a mistake to redshirt as he had planned to.
Thought process being that he could play out his 2 years, and then get a the extra Covid year, as opposed to sitting this one out and then playing out his last 2 years?Are we sure that if he redshirts this year, we won't be eligible for the extra year anyway?If a guy is currently a 5th year senior, I would assume that 5th senior isn't exempt from the new covid eligibility rule, so not sure why Perez would be any different (other than he would count towards the 13 scholarships in his 5th year of play).
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Unless something has changed, Perez is not seeking a waiver. I think when he was recruited the coaches presented a plan about how they would use his redshirt year to up his game and I think he liked what he heard.While most athletes would prefer to play over redshirt, there are a few who see and appreciate the benefit of a year off. Its really an underutilized tool in college basketball.
I think it basically comes down to this. Redshirt this year and play 2021-22 & 2022-23. Do not redshirt this year and play 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023.
I don't believe this is correct. I think the first option is redshirt this year, play 2021-2024.
I guess the question is if one has to play the 2020-21 season to get the extra COVID year. If that's the only shortened year, I can see playing that season being a requirement. Maybe play 20-21 and sit out a later year? Obviously that's not the plan, though.
Next offseason is going to be wild. Some seniors staying, some leaving, possibly instant transfers. I hope we are prepping now. Those not prepared for the new world order could get left behind quickly.
