@mlycan12 Yes. DSA is the answer.

@katywinters42 Just played it this week. My favorite course in the area.

[Iowa Volleyball @IowaVolleyball]

Congratulations to our graduates! 🎓

We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish! 💛

[Jim Barnes @JimBarnesVB]

@mlycan12 I see this as less than a problem. Seniors could have left when it was 4 years. Once it is common for 5 years, I can see it being the same as 4 but with players completing their masters by the end.

[Jim Barnes @JimBarnesVB]

This is completely accurate. If the 5th year passes and the cap is not addressed, it will cause utter chaos. Elite high school players have committed to universities in many sport like soccer and volleyball 2-3 years ago. There will need to be an exception for the 5th years for at least the next 2 years.

[Marsha Lycan @mlycan12]

The NCAA could be passing the 5YR eligibility model this week. The ONLY way to avoid creating utter chaos in terms of players being cut and de-committed every year is to make all 5th years exempt from roster limits. Roster limits and 5 years of playing cannot live harmoniously together. Many athletes will not decide if they are taking a 5th year until very late in the process and when they do, it will be at the expense of someone else. There will be a lot of HS Seniors getting de-committed every year because of the system this model will create. And I feel like no one is talking about this enough. #5YearEligibility #DoTheRightThing
