Are you suggesting a double national championship?...............................
Am I the only one that sees this as a terrible idea? The only way I would grant an extra year to a player is if he sat out this season due to concerns about the virus. Will they also expand the number of players on each team? What about the incoming HS players? If everyone on a team opts to come back for another year, does that mean they can't take on additional incoming freshmen? What am I missing?
I agree. At some point they need to move on from all this. If we have a season, then why give the players another year? All this does is screw up the next several recruiting classes and add expense to already troubled athletic budgets . Now if they cancel the season, like they did for spring sports last year, I get having an argument for this, but thats not whats needed here...Am I the only one that sees this as a terrible idea?

Fall or winter?If it's the same as what they've done for spring and fall sports, senior players who take advantage of this will not count toward scholarship limits for 2021-22. Here's what they had to say about fall sports:
- The financial aid of fall sport senior student-athletes who take advantage of the additional year of eligibility and extended clock will not count against team limits in 2021-22.
Spring, fall and now winter.Fall or winter?
So they already gave football an extra year?
Exactly. You can't just keep stacking these recruiting classes on top of each other. I pretty much guarantee you that Luka and JBO aren't coming back for year 5 or 6, or 8 whatever it is. Remember these guys also have to be working towards a degree or a masters or something, that can't just stay and play basketball.There will be 25 players on the basketball team next year. Some of them will be only a few years from Social Security eligibility. As someone stated above.....its time to move on. I feel bad for high school kids who will struggle to get a scholarship because a 30 year old, 6th year player is taking their spot.
It would suck for teams with guys opting to the NBA, it doesn't really suck for us having a bunch of really good college players who probably won't see the NBA.I agree.

This is entirely true from a competitive standpoint for our school, Wisconsin, and many others. The top schools in the conference will lose players to the NBA, if we don’t and everyone decides to return for one more go around, that could make for an amazing season.It would suck for teams with guys opting to the NBA, it doesn't really suck for us having a bunch of really good college players who probably won't see the NBA.
