NCAA has unanimously voted to implement the 5 for 5 model -- VTChip Jun 23, 2026 at 02:29 PM ET

Basically, any current student-athlete can potentially get a fifth year -- VTChip Jun 23, 2026 at 02:43 PM ET

May have to adjust the definition of "senior" for the senior bat. -- laphroaig Jun 25, 2026 at 04:33 AM ET

Perish the jealous thought, but 5th years could transfer as grad students** -- TomTurkey Jun 23, 2026 at 03:04 PM ET

I think several of our current players would be interested in playing -- nkhooch Jun 23, 2026 at 02:40 PM ET

Nothing wrong with the 5 year plan! 😉** -- HokieAvalanche Jun 23, 2026 at 03:24 PM ET

As I mentioned below, the problem becomes the 25-player limit.** -- VTChip Jun 23, 2026 at 02:44 PM ET

VTChip • 06/23/26 02:44 PM ET

SO is that a 25 scholarship limit or 25 bodies on a team limit?** -- UTPr0sim Jun 24, 2026 at 11:59 AM ET

UTPr0sim • 06/24/26 11:59 AM ET

Both actually, but I don’t think VT in funding all 25** -- VTChip Jun 24, 2026 at 01:17 PM ET

Roster limit. ** -- RJHokie Jun 24, 2026 at 12:08 PM ET

I assume we would not be committed to offering a 5th -- nkhooch Jun 23, 2026 at 02:53 PM ET
