Whats the reason she’s being granted that? Injury for muliple years plus covid? i remember Kayla Cafey transfering to Texas and it was like her 6th or 7th year…yes she had multiple injuries and i think u should get one year for an injury or a redshirt…after that it is what it is COVID Stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma Cancer Torn ACL ... she went through it. I'll say! Cancer and an ACL? That earns you a big exception in my book. She's up there with Savannah Rennie - the least the universe can do for these kids is give them another year to play college ball. |

All im sayin is there should be limits on how long u can play college sports There are limits and those that play in 2025 will be within those limits. I was just about to post the same thing. The Covid year really exacerbated the perception of too many players playing long past the normal 4 years, but that's nearly over. |

Some students (especially international) can arrive on campus as 17 year old freshman and others as 20 year old freshmen. Eligiblity is tricky. But like - these are very uncommon cases and if the NCAA Grants 6th/7th years eligibility - I find them almost always justified. Yea i just read up on her bio…much respect to her…illness or injury or any personal reason a player doesnt play that year is serious…should there be exceptions? Yes…international players can be a tricky situation…but if ur 20 ur coming in as a sophmore or junior not a fresman… |

Probably similar to Caffey. Normal redshirt year Injury year Played 3 years which completed normal five year time span Granted 6th year due to missing two years (redshirt plus injury) Covid year makes 7 Technically the last two may be reversed - not sure the order in which they occur. See to me thats crazy…i think an injury year should count but not a redshirt year…if u werent good enough to play that year it should still count as a year…then granting another year if eligibility cuz u missed multiple years? Like what are we doin here…thats just my take to each their own Most college players don't go pro, so 4 years of college is the last experience they'll have of competitive sport. It's not their fault that injuries happen or that they get redshirted or that Covid threw a wrench into the 2020 season. |

Like what are we doin here…thats just my take to each their own It has been the rule for decades that a college athlete has five years to play your four years of eligibility. That allows for the possibility of a redshirt year. The sixth year rule has also been around for decades. Your opinion is very much in the minority - nearly a minority of one. |

There's a redshirt freshman in the ACC who was 17 years old last year in her first season - and she just played in the PARIS OLYMPICS. I don't think describing that as "weren't good enough to play" is... accurate. |

She's up there with Savannah Rennie - the least the universe can do for these kids is give them another year to play college ball. I agree…a big exception…i do feel like many teams and players tske advantage of the rules which the NCAA or competition commitee or whoever should change it |

Well the NCAA also didnt allow NIL or any student player to have a part time job or accept any type of money or compensation for a 100+ years…and yet here we are now…finally |

That change increased the benefits for players. Doing away with redshirting and injury years would be viewed as taking away from players. |

Just a reminder that the only players that can enter the portal currently are those planning to transfer as grad students. Also there should be few players next season using the COVID year. Majority of those would be 2020 recruits that redshirted after the 20-21 season. Stowers is a unique situation. She was medically retired by Baylor, I guess? Entering the portal for 2025. I don’t think she is in the portal, but announced plans to do so. I would need to go back to her instagram post to confirm the series of events exactly as she outlined. |

From what was posted on VT, it is also my understanding that Stowers was medically "retired". My recall is that she just announced her intention to enter the portal, but I could be wrong. Nothing prohibits a player from announcing intention to enter the portal before it opens. I'll also keep open the possibility that she might qualify for some portal exception due to the medical retirement. |

She was forced to medically retire by the university and was cleared by medical staff outside of Baylor to play elsewhere. I reread her post and she is entering in December. |
