I can understand allowing players who do not play this fall to retain eligibility and scholarship, but if you play this fall why should you get an extra year?

With the "guaranteed multiyear scholarship" model the P5s/autonomous 5 chose to follow in 2015, I think they would. As long as the player has eligibility, they need reasonable cause to take them off scholarship.
I think this would qualify as reasonable cause not to pay if the school has already paid 4 years of a scholarship.

If a team has 100 on scholarship then the school pays for 100 tuitions, 100 books, 100 housing, 100 meal plans, 100 stipends, 100 clothing. Small schools especially cannot absorb these costs.
Some of those are real, especially stipend. Others are not or can be matched by offsetting with fewer walkons (meals, clothing) or allowing another student to take that academic spot (tuition). Housing is fixed I would imagine if they all live in athletic dorms and have just an extra few rooms.

And it's 1 year for probably 10-20 kids at most. Most don't have more than 10 or 15 seniors. And it's just going to the school...the 2 can figure something out lol.

I'm not sure if smaller schools do the COL stipend thing, but I could be wrong.
 
Kicked the bucket down the road 1 year. The disaster will be going into 2022 with a bunch of 5/6th year seniors and potentially 100+ still on the roster. But...there's plenty of time to cross that bridge too.
Agreed. I’m not sure what the right answer is, but I wonder if they should’ve just made this available for juniors and seniors and had it expire in 2022.

I don't really get it either, but imo the sec, acc, big 12 probably made a fuss over it. If the b1g and pac didn't play, it would be a big advantage for them next year.

It applies to all fall sports. In football, 10 players times $75,000 = $750,000
 
So for 2021-2022 season, we can have 85 + any SR or RS SR that wants to come back? And now all of your underclassmen have one extra year of eligibility (6 years to play 5), but the 85 limit will be enforced after next season?

That's going to put the coaches in some tough spots on a lot of guys. It really hurts the high school guys the most. Do teams still sign the 25 max or hold on to a few more 6 year Seniors?
 
Absolutely Great news! This will help TN Lines improve vastly. We have some real talent on our lines and everyone knows it. We have a Top 5 Oline in the country rite now, IMHO. If this ruling goes through of course.

I just didn’t want to spill it for obvious reasons.

Cade should get good news soon.

It doesn't seem like the solution is limited to seniors. It sounds like all players are getting a free redshirt year even if they play.

Did they say the 85 would be enforced after next year?
 
This is a move to try to stop football and punish schools who do play
It won’t be legit...they’re desperate at this point. One bad move after the other. PAC-12 simply wants a year to get their #WeAreUnited situation stabilized and the Big 10 is cow-towing to the Michigan governor. They “don’t know how it will look” indeed. 😏

No one knows about future 85 limit after 21-22
