It's one of those schools where when you see where it is (overlooking Malibu Beach) you say "who wouldn't want to go here?". The Baseball Stadium at Pepperdine

That is not correct. The COVID rule is that the 2020- 21 season just doesn’t count, so if someone played that year that does not use up a year of their eligibility. In her case, she played this year, which leaves her three more years of eligibility.

Yes, much like Steph Davis who has 4 yrs of eligibility left.

Yes, much like Steph Davis who has 4 yrs of eligibility left. She's grown an inch taller which will make her even a better catch for her next team.

Had she played that year, it wouldn’t have counted towards her four years. But By not playing, she doesn’t get an extra year added at the end. The NCAA edict simply said if you played in 2020-21, that did not count as one of your allowable four years.

Any test cases yet? That's often when the final interpretation gets set as a precedent.

In that case, the New England Crusaders, which is an AAU team I believe, is adding an inch to Steph's listed roster height and a year to her remaining eligibility.
That's similar to the advertising concept of "puffery," I guess. I wonder if either the AAU or NCAA have articulated an appropriate role for AAU teams in the portal? I like a team sticking by it's alumna, but can foresee issues such as this becoming customary and then almost necessary and a possible revenue source for AAU teams which could further muddy the portal waters.

Already has in part, although I don't necessarily see a revenue source. As to her height - she was listed as 6'1 in HS. I sometimes question the listed roster heights, for example, I think Meghan Swords was more like 6'4 + than her listed 6'3. I take Bison at his word, but it is odd that many grad transfers will have played 5 years & based on circumstances such as LeMaster & Davis. others will only get 4 (in total).

Meghan could have taken a page from Bill Walton's book. He was seven feet, but preferred to be listed as 6'11" to appear less freakishly tall.

Trust but verify.
I trust Bison.
But, his position will be verified if a player appeals a decision to deny his/her extra Covid year of eligibility and the NCAA makes a decision.
However I'm not sure something like that is appealable.

However I'm not sure something like that is appealable. no one has denied him anything. He was not charged a year of eligibility for the Covid year, just like everyone else. There’s absolutely nothing to appeal.

It would be hard to find anything less relevant. He is on a 6th season because one of the seasons he played didn’t count due to the NCAA Covid rule, plus he got an injury waiver for one year.

Bucknell‘s Taylor O’Brien will be going to the ACC for her final year of eligibility, playing for Florida State.

There’s absolutely nothing to appeal. I'm referring to WBB player Steph Davis whose AAU team is promoting her to have four years of eligibility left. Your position makes sense but I suspect someone and their lawyer will challenge this (not referring to Ms. Davis now).

Steph Davis played an entire season for HC this year. You can only play 4 seasons. The only exception ever was the Covid year which the NCAA declared would not count as one of those 4 years for those who competed that year. Being hurt during the Covid year doesn’t somehow get you another year of athletic eligibility.

She's been injured pretty much 3 consecutive years. The odds on us hearing of her being a productive player in some other program aren't that great.
