Looking like extra year will be granted
- Thread starter Hawkimus
- Start date
They should give every spring athlete another year. If you look at DII DIII and Juco many haven’t even played a game yet.
I doubt many would take advantage of it but it should be offered. Even if without scholarship it’s at least an option for the student.

Winter sport athletes should not get another year. Yes, it sucks not playing in a championship tourney but they played basically the whole year up until now.
That's the best way to handle it. Give the winter & spring sport seniors the option to come back. It'll be interesting to see how many would take advantage of that option or going about their lives.
Mute point, aren't we all gonna be dead?
Exactly. For instance why should isu b-ball seniors be allowed another year. There season was done and over already like the teams from the MVC who were done since last weekend. As bad as I feel for Kriener and Evelyn they shouldn’t get an extra year.
Seriously? And do what, have an A&B team or a JV? What would Fran do with 17 guys on the roster? What would be the fallout with the five freshman. Suppose someone like Perkins doesn't want to redshirt? So he loses an entire year riding the pine, because unfortunately this years seniors mised out on a game or two? This would be a gigantic clusterfXXX, and a terrible idea, and its unwarrented.
There is no ideal situation here. The extra year thing would be optional, not mandatory. Each coach would have to be honest about how much the returning player would play, and come to a decision that way.
It really doesn't matter if incoming freshmen don't want to redshirt. This is an unusual situation. They don't have to redshirt. If they're good enough to play, they'll play.
I understand its optional. Its not like you could make the guy come back. Still don't see anyway you could have a unified functional team with that many players on it, counting the incoming freshman. I also realize that redshirting is ultimately up to the players, as it should be. You have to admit though if Kreiner and BE returned that Fran would play them, and thats going to cut into playing time for guys like Perkins, and Ulis, and hell who knows maybe even the twins. Just don't think it is in teams best interest to screw up an entire season, because of this situation.
Basketball is a winter sport. An additional year may be granted to athletes in baseball, softball, track, etc.
Jess Suttles talked about this very subject on Big Ten Network last night. Even mentioned his six years of eligibility due to injury bug.
Selfishly, I want Ryan K to have a final b10 and ncaa tourney- that kid left it all on the court for the Hawks
It's a logistical nightmare. Many sports offer partial scholarships.
It also seems to pit some schools at a totally unfair advantage. Imagine a team like iowa last year who only had one scholarship senior vs a team who had 4 or 5? Even if not all the player's decide to return, senior-laden teams will have a bigger talent pool to pick players from.
Idk. Seems like the best solution would have been to just hold the tournament in May immediately after graduation. Players looking to move on can move on. Players looking to stay and play in the tourney can. I'd like to hear why that wasn't an option.
so have all the hawks that have been waiting for the minutes that he'd be taking.
damned if you damned if you don't unfortunately
Or they could bring back the NCAA tournaments for winter sports in a few weeks or a month....
Again, this does not impact basketball. Additional eligibility may be granted to spring athletes, not winter.
I would most certainly be up for May Madness!
The arenas will be available for games. The hotels and airlines would like to make up the business.
And the ADs are will be sitting idly soon. Makes some plans for late May.

Connor just completed his sophomore season. So I don't understand your question.
Pretty sure Winstons interests will be in the NBA draft, and not another year in East Lansing.....
Thank you, I had a senior moment, obviously spaced Connor is a soph; although he also had "senior moments" when he played. Excuse the pun.

I think one group of beneficiaries that we haven't considered is coaches who are "on the hot seat". A guy like Richard Pitino, for example, now has very little chance of getting canned. I think most every school will just stand pat. A number of coaches may have gotten an extra year to prove themselves.
Winters sports shouldn’t and probably won’t get, another year. Yes, they deserve better, but it’s just not realistic.
It certainly sucks that Kreiner, Evelyn, and Till don't get an opportunity to play in the tournament this year. But.... be careful what you ask for. If you look at what Iowa loses (2 key bench players and a walk-on who was leaving anyway), it's much less impacting that many other conference teams.
