The NCAA is considering allowing five years of eligibility for players in all sports moving forward, per an NCAA official.

I have seen a few places but no one has seemingly confirmed. Would this mean you get 5 years, that's it and that's all? If so I'd be in board. Get rid of redshirts, get rid of waivers, etc. 5 years and move on. If you can only play 3 of those well tough, life isn't always fair. No offense to Fox but we don't need 27 year olds in year 8 in college.

100% agree with you.

Give 'em 5 years to play and if they're lucky enough to be healthy for 5 years -- for example a guy like Brad Davison -- good for them. 5 years of eligibility for a 18-23-year-old is plenty.

Granting all those extra years because of injury or other stuff is nonsense.

At this point remove the years of eligibility and call it the minor leagues.

Here we go again with the mud-slinging.

You guys actually DESERVE this team. DESERVE this administration. I might actually start slinging mud back at you guys in the future LOL.

This is what I was going to say. It's a paid professional league now. There should be no age or time limit.
