Am I understanding this correctly?
Before Covid, If a player went 2 years JUCO and graduated JUCO, how many years of NCAA 4 year school eligibility would they have had left? I have never found this number.
Then after covid, only one year of eligibility was granted to all current NCAA student-athletes? Right? I mean everyone get's 5 to play 4, right? Now it's 6 to play 4 where a partial or cancelled season doesn't count against it.
It's still only 1 makeup year, so to me it's not really affecting anyone differently than what was expected. Everyone basically HS 2015-2019 (years might be off) who can afford to stay can get that 4th year back. I think looking at it as an Extra Year is kind of misleading. Maybe a lot of people were thinking it was only going to have a 1 year impact and their kid is a few years out and wouldn't feel the effect but now realize it's a 4 year impact not 1.
would really just like to understand the JUCO rule to grasp if that particular scenario of the freshman after 2 years juco is accurate.
