I think several of our current players would be interested in playing

a 5th year. Might actually lighten the academic load for them as well.

NCAA has unanimously voted to implement the 5 for 5 model

Basically, any current student-athlete can potentially get a fifth year

May have to adjust the definition of "senior" for the senior bat.

Great point.

Current roster numbers...

Perish the jealous thought, but 5th years could transfer as grad students**

Nothing wrong with the 5 year plan! 😉**

As I mentioned below, the problem becomes the 25-player limit.**
VTChip 06/23/26 02:44 PM ET
SO is that a 25 scholarship limit or 25 bodies on a team limit?**
UTPr0sim 06/24/26 11:59 AM ET
Both actually, but I don’t think VT in funding all 25**

Roster limit. **
RJHokie 06/24/26 12:08 PM ET
I assume we would not be committed to offering a 5th
nkhooch 06/23/26 02:53 PM ET
Not an absolute. Pete just has to juggle the numbers**
