I have not seen this anywhere and if it has been discussed, then take mine off. A player gets his 9th year of NCAA eligibility. there goes that 4 v 40 plan. How about 9 v 30 plan.

Going to double as a tight end and the team doctor next season
How can you have that many year ending injuries and it be approved? I wonder if he is still on any scholarship.
If he wasn't a resident before he started, I hope he is now as it saves 27K / year for "someone" (32K in state, 59K out of state)!
Is that math right? Enrolled at Oregon Jan 2016. Redshirted the fall 2016 season. I count 2023 as his 8th year, not 9th. 24 years old. Poor guy has only played 13 games over 4 seasons. Red shirt. Multiple medical hardship waivers. Covid waiver. Probably on full scholarship since 2016. I hope he managed to get his undergrad degree. Might be on the hook for 2023.
Headline says 9th year.
He says he now has the option to come back and play for an 8th year.
Already has his bachelors and master's degrees.
Is a PhD the last option? Another master's degree?

Just now seeing this post and article. Not only does it appear the writer can't count, but he starts the article off with "..... a college football player has the opportunity to stay in school longer than the four allotted years."
How did his editor let him get away with that writing?? Many of the general student body now stay in school longer than four years, let alone athletes who are frequently redshirting or are injured!!!
End of rant!
