[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Evidently the players you know are all grad school bound. Taking a broader view though, most are not. I expect that many players are saying they will take the extra year, but that may be before fiscal reality sets in.

Still, rosters are going to be at least somewhat bloated for at least two years. It sounds like there may be some concessions from the NCAA that extra years won't count against scholarship limits (I haven't seen this formally), but I expect those extra costs would be borne by the programs themselves. Some may suck it up, others may limit 5th year scholarships (notwithstanding the P5 rule, which was created for a different reason, certainly not intended for this), and others may limit incoming scholarships, or some combination of these.

IMO, the eligibility extension was a poorly considered knee-jerk decision that causes the 2021, 2022, and 2023 incoming classes to bear most of the brunt of COVID effects. The P5 rule as posted above should not apply for extra years of eligibility to help spread the pain a bit. The NCAA should either let the programs manage their budgets and choose between funding an extra year or an incoming freshman, or fund directly extra years.[/quote]

Read carefully. I said that players were taking their 5th year OR planning to be grad transfers.  I have two college players myself and know many of their club teammates now on other college teams, and many kids withdrew this year and are returning next year to play.  Most of these players have some scholarship money (few players anywhere have even 50% rides), but probably not enough to drive the decision.  For most of them, they want to stretch their playing careers as long as possible.[/quote]

So......if they are seniors and not staying to attend grad school...are they paying extra college cost just to play the additional year verse graduating and entering the workforce?[/quote]
