Now we'll get to see what this means for the PL and for HC.

After years of bad decisions, the NCAA finally got one right

Without a corresponding increase in current roster size, doesn’t this ruling raises some difficult decisions about roster management moving forward.

There has to be corresponding change to many rules, at least on a temporary basis. There will also be those that take the grad transfer route, but the competition for those spots will be steep.

You're a good, but not yet great FCS prospect. You are entering twelfth grade. Your football season was just cancelled and now your hoped for college scholarship is gone, too. Take Senior year off, start a landscaping/house painting/snow shoveling business and hit it hard in the classroom and football field next year?

[br Should a rising high school senior football player on the bubble for a college scholarship consider taking a gap year this year? High Schools can't extend a year of eligibility to sync with colleges unless the student withdraws for a year and many are complaining that the upcoming school year will be substandard because of Covid no matter what combination of in school/remote learning is used. I am assuming high school football will be cancelled this fall. |

Uh - last I checked gap years aren't an option in HS.

Yeah - prep schools are just itching to take public HS kids who drop out.

Well, if they pay tuition, or contribute to a team, they are already "itching" to bring them in.
In NJ, as is true in NY, it is almost impossible to gain any additional high school eligibility beyond the four years that start when one enters 9th grade.

Ion NJ, as is true in NY, it is almost impossible to gain any additional eligibility beyond the four years that start when one enters 9th grade. I wasn't considering that factor. That would eliminate the option I was thinking of. |

BTW: One other factor in NY/NJ is that eligibility starts when one plays for a high school team. In NY some students played as 8th graders (mostly girls) on high school teams and then found NJ said their four year eligibility expired at the end of their junior year. [It cost IHA a county basketball title a few years back.]

Someone on the losing team knew that an IHA senior from NY had played as an 8th grader and "saved it" for the biggest impact. The second place team did. not move up. No Bergen County title was awarded that year. (Unofficially, I don't think it was someone from the second place team. I think it was someone with a gripe against IHA and wanted their shot to do maxium damage.)

You would think this would happen a lot more in football with Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco bringing in so many of the top athletes from Rockland. But of course, not many people are playing varsity football as 8th graders... |

Yeah - prep schools are just itching to take public HS kids who drop out. If they want them bad enough, they take them in. And there is also the "reclassifying" racket. Kid transfers going into his/her senior year. They call him/her a junior and go two years. |
