It will never be enough.

I predicted this more than once. Who is the NCAA to say how long someone can play college athletics? College is turning into another pro League. The logical step of the future will be for non-students to be allowed to play.

I think the extra year for Covid and all this talk about extra years hurts the young kids more than anything. All these sixth and seventh year players sticking around are
just taking playing time from 19 and 20-year-olds who get the short end of the stick.

In the prior era, I would have agreed with you. However, now with NIL, this is a job like any other job. And as such, give the job to the person based on merit alone. You can no longer hold too many spots based on potential alone now given you may never actually benefit from that potential as the kid can simple transfer without punishment.
