Meechie Johnson seems confident he will get a 6th year. His argument is this season at Ohio State shouldn't count, because he had mental health issues and left the team after playing in 10 games.

Dawson Garcia left UNC after 16 games in 2021-2022 because of a sick family member in Minnesota. If Meechie gets his waiver, would Dawson not get one because of 16 games vs 10 games? Or family hardship doesn't count as much as mental health?

I'm pretty cynical about all of this but it seems like there is a chance. Obviously a major part of this would have to be Dawson Garcia wanting to come back for a 6th year of college.

I think I would have done another year of college for a million dollars.

A couple(?) weeks ago Musselman was on with Barreiro, and was talking about the old days of the G-League when it had better talent (in his opinion) and guys were scrapping and fighting to try to make the league getting paid at a rate of like $35k a year or less.

Compare that now with what you get paid at the top level of DI?? No-brainer you stay in college as long as you possibly can unless you know you're good to make the league

If they were going to approve this for any player with eligibility left starting in the 2025-26 season ... then they'll have to approve a waiver for any player who wants one and used last year of eligibility in 24-25. There's no way they'd survive a lawsuit.

This would explain why people like Mike Mitchell entered the portal. He has been told there is a chance.
 








Sounds like somebody knows something.
Otherwise why wouldn’t Wolfson just say, “no”. Theoretically, the NCAA payout to past players would be decreased by allowing a 5th year to the guys that were freshmen around 2019. The court case mandated in July 2021 payments of $2.75 billion to athletes who competed prior to that date. NCAA biggest payout would have been to the more recent enrollees already in college 2019-2020. Those athletes could claim the most from the potential upward trajectory of NIL money. By allowing them income in a 5th year, they would be off NCAA payout. Just a theory.
