The extra year of eligibility should not be about 5th years and playing time. Does everyone realize that ALL D-1 fall and winter athletes this past year were granted an extra year of eligibility! They were granted an extra year before their season even started. Those fall and winter athletes completed modified seasons and even had championships. Even the March Madness basketball players we are watching on TV were given an extra year. Whether it was right or wrong to grant that extra year the NCAA should treat all D-1 athletes the same.
