-what are posters thinking about the idea of giving seniors a special waiver allowing them to come back next year and play without affecting schools' scholarships?

How? So many already have their season over. So what are you basing it off of? Bracketology? If your team had a certain NET Ranking? Where does it end. Its horrible what is going on / hopefully and I mean hopefully it can all be FIXED in SOON.

-what are posters thinking about the idea of giving seniors a special waiver allowing them to come back next year and play without affecting schools' scholarships? This would be tough. Transfer market would become ridiculous at that point, both with grad transfers making moves and (not so much for our men, but other teams) freshmen and sophomores who were looking to move into bigger roles as seniors graduate, but are now stuck behind them again. Someone was making this point on ESPN Radio this morning, not my original thought. |

I think the seniors in spring sports will be given the option to return, with a waiver on the number of scholarships
seniors on basketball teams will likewise get another year of eligibility is my thinking. in our case we have o e senior, and.Amadi was not a starter and would not be next year. So if allowed he has a decision to make, move on or work on a master's without cost. His popularity on the team would make.it a plus. additionally he would play an important role on the team.
it will be interesting to see what happens at other schools. The top wrung seniors will clearly move on with their life, but others will come back, earn advanced degrees and play a role on bloated rosters.

Senior basketball players played the entire regular season why would they be allowed to come back?

Coach Cal & Dick Vitale are pushing for this. Well that would absolutely suck for Bonaventure. The most promising aspect of the team is the core coming back. If the same could be said for everyone that advantage goes away. Also the seniors played 85% of the season enough |

BTW, personally, feel bad for seniors, but I am against the waiver.

and what do you do about scholarship limits? Waive them for a year? For most schools, spring sports are not a revenue raiser, and most schools do not fully fund all of their spring sports. And outside of baseball, lacrosse, and maybe a few odds and ends athletes, there is no professional level to try for outside of college. So if kids want to come back for the spring, I guess I am ok with it. But No to Basketball. As already pointed out, 85% of more of their games have been played, over 90% were not going anywhere beyond their league tournament. Time to move on. (Of course, my opinion would be different if it was last year  |

-what are posters thinking about the idea of giving seniors a special waiver allowing them to come back next year and play without affecting schools' scholarships? For Spring sports this may be something reasonable to consider. I am strongly against it for Winter sports. This is a really horrible break for everyone, especially senior athletes, but life isn't fair. A senior who played the whole season wouldn't get a redshirt if they got hurt right before their conference tournament started. Sure, people can argue this is a more extenuating circumstance, but it seems to me that any way to to try to make it "fairer" for the senior athletes doesn't come without a cost that is more unfair. Would roster sizes be expanded? If so, is that fair to the team that only has 1 senior vs. the team that has 4 seniors? If not, would that be fair to athletes from the incoming class who now may lose their spot? Is it fair to the next loyal athlete in line on the depth chart who after 3 years was looking forward to finally being "the guy" their senior year? Would it be fair for a team that lost no seniors to have to play a season against a team with 5 super seniors who have an extra year knowing the system? (If so, seems unfair to Bonas that this didn't happen during a year when we graduated more critical seniors.) It may sound harsh, but in my opinion the cleanest way is to accept that life is unfair and move on. It's a part of life we all learn at one time or another. It seems like the NCAA's motivation is usually money over athletes. I would be very surprised if they waded into this. |
