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

5th year players instead of 4th year players but what if one or more decides not to stay that 5th year?

NCAA has unanimously voted to implement the 5 for 5 model

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

Great point.

Current roster numbers...

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

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

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?**

Both actually, but I don’t think VT in funding all 25**

Roster limit. **

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**
