It sounds like the NCAA President is pushing hard for its passage. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like it will apply to this year’s graduating senior From the linked story “The proposed "five-for-five" rule, which stakeholders prefer to call age-based eligibility, would allow student-athletes five years to play five seasons without the traditional redshirt years. While the Cabinet previously "kicked down" the idea earlier in April 2026, NCAA president Charlie Baker has expressed optimism regarding the new proposal's eventual implementation.” And this from President Sands: “The time is now to reform the period of eligibility rules to provide Division I student-athletes and our schools clear and consistent standards that align with current college athletes' experiences," Virginia Tech president and chair of the board of directors Tim Sands said in a statement. "The board fully supports student-athletes receiving the unprecedented financial benefits now available to them and emphasized these changes would protect opportunities for high school student-athletes to access the benefits only college sports can provide, while delivering predictable outcomes for student-athletes and our schools." ** Edited by VTChip at 4/28/2026, 6:57:51 AM
