Ivies do not allow a 5th year so any player with extra year of eligibility must play somewhere else.

Simple solution is go to 4 in 5

That might solve this group's concern about recruiting compression, but it doesn't address the NCAA's issues with redshirts, medical redshirts, approvals, litigation, etc., so not really a "simple solution".

probably not that many take the 5th year because coach may not extend the scholarship. Maybe they will enter the portal to find a coach/program that will pay for them, but coaches will be unlikely to keep deadweight seniors for a 5th year

Sure, but starters will likely be retained if they so chose and there is where you have issues with depth charts.

All of sudden, does that 2027 want to watch that starter for 3 of her 5 years?

Right now there are

84 D1 committed 2027 goalies.
99 D1 committed 2026 goalies.

121 2025 goalies.

You won’t break 80 D1 goalies for 2028 if this 5 for 5 passes as expected.

That's an interesting prediction. The other thing to add is we are entering a period of declining student enrollment due to low birth rates. That could make it worse

I assume you are referring to women’s lacrosse and not men’s?
There are only 77 D1 programs in the men’s side.
