Jeff Goodman reported last night that NCAA D1 council will likely vote today to grant all winter sports student-athletes an extra year of eligibility. Sounds to me it means the coming winter season, if there is one, is a redshirt year. Wonder how HC and the PL will view this.

Also on the eligibility front, SI is reporting the penalty free transfer rule, one time only, is being discussed as well.

Having the NCAA’’s permission does not translate to the PL nor HC. If there is at least a league season, I do not see the PL granting an extra year maybe unless there is a Covid case exception.

I believe Louth will have four years of eligibility, starting 2021-22, unless he can come to campus in January and be an active member of the team (which is doubtful).

I believe HC's 5th year of eligibility is allowed only for medical reasons. Not sure if the PL has a policy. Bucknell for example, follows the Ivy model of your eligibility clock starts ticking on day one and ends 45 months later. Not sure how withdrawing from school like most of Yale's basketball players did this semester, affects that. Will the PL allow and pay for, more than the max roster size for the next 4 years. Will next year's frosh class now have 8-9 or more players in it. (This could influence recruiting as of right now). Do our seniors want to graduate this Spring and move on with their lives. Will graduate transfers explode in the next 4 years. Lots of questions for the league and college.

With the expected one year no sit out change to the transfer rule to go along with this new extra year, the portal may have double the 1000+ players it has just had.

There's a very interesting point If a school has the max13 scholarships, four seniors, and 4 committed incoming freshmen, what happens if the seniors all decide to use an extra year of eligibility? Will the NCAA allow schools extra scholarships? |

Not just for one year but for the following 3 years. Kind of hard to justify at a time when multiple colleges are cutting minor sports in a cost saving move.

Someone on the Penn message board speculated this will help mid and low major recruiting, at least in the short term, because the P5 schools will be taking in so many grad transfers not to mention regular transfers. Of course those grad transfers have to come from somewhere. It is actually quite an opportunity for kids to play 3.5 years, (maybe), get their degree and then become a grad transfer. I think many of the student-athletes of this Covid Era won't play that 5th year at the college or university they began at. Some won't use it all and will end up being kids their coach encourages to get on with their life and graduate in 4 years. If not their coach, their parents or both.
