Clarifying the NCAA eligibility rules

My justification is that Marek’s school is greedy and Jimmy’s school didn’t care about money as much.
Jimmy knew when he went to an Ivy League that academics mattered more than athletics.


These are student athletes.
Jimmy was not harmed by Marek getting a chance at an extra year.
He was kept away from potentially getting the coronavirus.

Not sure that Cornell doesn't care about money but I do know they have an endowment that is least 5x what SU has.

The NCAA actually tried to do the right thing.

They made this past year not count as one of the 4 (in 5 total years, w a RS) that goes against player eligibility.

So - whether a player played all of the season, none of the season (see: Jimmy & the entire Ivy League) OR chose to opt out -
None of those cost them this single year of eligibility.

They did NOT give extra or bonus years.
They simply didn’t count this one towards the standard rules of eligibility they’ve had for ages now.

And the Ivy League has had its own rules (no Graduate eligibility, for instance - even IF you took a RS year)
that differ from the NCAA -
And they’ve never gotten sued for it.

DI Council extends eligibility for winter sport student-athletes

Winter sport student-athletes who compete during 2020-21 in Division I will receive both an additional season of competition and an additional year in which to complete

you guys are knuckleheads. Every student gets an extra year to play. The ncaa can’t give buddy boeheim an extra year and not Jimmy. Lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember reading that the kid from Florida's illness had nothing to do with covid.

The kid got Covid in the summer.

It’s not Covid related is what has been said publicly so I will go with that.

Try this. Every scholarship athlete has 4 years of eligibility. The NCAA merely said this (pandemic) season will not count toward the 4--it was a freebie.

So, for example, if you had used 2 years eligibility prior to this last season, you still have 2 years if you wish to use them, e.g. Buddy.

If you had used 3 years, you have 1 year left--see Marek or JBJr.

Why not actually go by what the NCAA said?

Winter sport student-athletes who compete during 2020-21 in Division I will receive both an additional season of competition and an additional year in which to complete it, the Division I Council decided. The same flexibility was provided to student-athletes after the spring season was canceled in 2020 and the fall season was seriously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

So, Jimmy can play 4 years of college basketball but Marek could play 5? Or any sr. on any p-5 school. LOL It would seem that any first year law school student could win that case for any Ivy league student. Think of the NCAA like a pep band
Expand...
It makes sense that they keep it universal and simple. Everyone lost something this year, whether it be a few practices and games due to pauses or a whole season due to league shut down or voluntary opt out, so they all get a do over.

We will see. I suspect that we will all know the answer very soon.

You are saying the NCAA is making Ivy League players that would have been freshman last year in essence pre-freshman that isn’t happening.

The NCAA didn’t count last year against athletes. So no matter if they played or didn’t play nobody lost anything.

I don’t understand how hard this is for some to understand.
Jimmy Boeheim has one year left to play college b-ball.

You know I really hope Jimmy doesn't take up a scholarship because it's really unnecessary because of his father who get all the same amenities n treatment in all that In school obviously, so but yea I am curious to see how hell play in the ACC if he comes which I think he will

That means players can still redshirt if they didn’t already.
Pretty simple Interpretation.
 
Ivy League athletes can’t redshirt.
It’s an Ivy League rule.

The extra year to compete sentence from the NCAA is protecting the Ivy League athletes from their own rules.

6 years to use eligibility is for kids not in the Ivy League if they wanted to use a redshirt in the future and not lose a year of eligibility.

The idea the Ivy League kids are getting an extra year because their own league decided to opt is not in the rules.
 
Matthew Gutierrez’s most recent article about portal pounding said the following about Jimmy:

”He graduates from Cornell next month with a near 4.0 GPA in finance, and then he’d have one season of eligibility at his next school.”

So he says one year.

Of course, the article also says Cuse has a shot at Tre Mitchell (lol) so I don’t know what to believe.
 
Again I have said this previously if the Ivy League kids were getting an extra year then if I were Frank Ansalem I demand a redshirt for last season and I want 5 years eligibility left and not 4 years.

The rules say the players are keeping this season of eligibility whether they used it and played or not.

Except you completely ignored the qualifier that begins that sentence.

WINTER SPORT ATHLETES WHO COMPETE DURING 2020-21...

Athletes who don‘t compete, like the Ivys, do not get an extra year, they retain their original eligibility (if they played 3 seasons, they will get still get one more as Covid didn‘t take the extra year away even if its going to be played in year 6)

If athlete plays during Covid season, that athlete is 6 years to play 5

If athlete DOES NOT play during Covid season, that athlete is 6 years to play 4

Everybody gets an extra year in total for the standard 4 years of playing eligibility but the only way to play 5 years is to actually play during the Covid year
 
You only need to read the first sentence. This only applies to athletes who competed in 20-21. If for whatever reason you didn't compete, you do not suddenly get an extra year, the 20-21 season is the extra year.

Jimmy had an extra year, but the Ivy League said he couldn't use it at one of their institutions.

Yeah I think if it were covid related we would have heard plenty about that.
 
So if Patrick Tape had stayed at Columbia this past year, he’d have 2 years left?!?! A 7yr player!!!
