Because it's not that simple. If you're too old, for example. Or if you've used a 2nd redshirt, for example.
None of which is complicated or complex.

Of course the age restriction comes into, play, that’s the whole point. I thought that went without saying lol

You said folks are making it more complex than it is, and everyone on the roster this fall will get 5 years to play 5. That's not the case. There are 4+ years of classes that could have 2 or more redshirt years under their belts, and will use that instead.

No, everyone on roster will get 5 years to play 5 years, not additional years. If they have two redshirts years, they don’t get years added on.

Simply put, you get

Do us all a favor and just google it to confirm what we're saying.

This is so stupid. Why not just go with 4 in 5 from 19 or graduation.

Because if a guy sat out a year, and then got injured and used a medical redshirt & was a junior this fall... Then the NCAA came in halfway through this and said "We have a new rule, you have 2 or 3 years and not 4"-- they would be sued by hundreds of basketball and football players, and others.

This 5 in 5 solution is to prevent being sued. It won't work, they'll be sued and lose, but that's what they're trying to avoid.

So why change anything then? It’s complete chaos today and this doesn’t seem to help

Current athletes who still had remaining eligibility after the 2025–26 academic year will be given a choice. They can use the new "5-in-5" model or continue under previous eligibility rules (four year to play five), depending on which is more beneficial to the individual player. That old model would still have traditional medical hardship waivers extending the timeline for certain players.

The classes will for sure be smaller. No idea how anyone can proximate how much exactly, or what the above numbers are supposed to mean.

These numbers must be combined across all levels. Less than 1000 for D1 class.

It won’t apply to kids who just graduated college but it applies to all current college players enrolled in fall.

So it affects every 2027 and younger and obviously 2028 most since this is their recruiting year.

I think you won’t see a ton of players doing a 5th year, only starters or even top starters.

Some may go into portal for the 5th year just to see interest, but not be picked up.

According to an AI search this isn’t correct. Students in college or signed commitments to colleges already have eligibility locked in. This change would apply to future kids going to college or signing commitments after the date it goes into effect.

It hasn't been signed off on yet, so things can change. The proposal, however:

* 2026 + later high school graduates -- all age-based 5 year model.
* Previous years - can choose which one is better for them. If they've used/gotten 2 or more redshirts, they can play a 6th+. If they've used none, they can get a 5th of actual play (assuming inside the 5 years since high school and < 24 years old).

* Also, if anyone plans to apply for a hardship/medical waiver and they haven't yet for a previous year, have to do it by July 31. No more doing that several years out.

AI is never wrong... But it is often is. As it is in this case.

Will apply to all players who currently retain eligibility. Won't give back a year to players who just played their fourth season.
