This is a thread to track guys that are coming back to their same school or transferring to another school to use the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA from the cancelled season.

This will be an interesting thread as time goes on and more schools make official announcements. As for Hawaii, haven't all of the seniors said that they want to return? Or is it now all about whether or not UH can continue their scholarships in order for them to want to return "officially"? I would think with all the money their ticket sales bring in, not to mention their strong booster support that money wouldn't be a problem for UH. Also, men's volleyball is one of the sports there that actually brings in some revenue so there should be some motivation for the school to keep this "super" team together. Keep thinking this is already decided, but apparently not.

I would think that for some of the players at U of H they could be getting healthy offers across the ocean to play on professional teams and why stay one more year if you are that good. Of course, due to Covid-19 things may stay in flux for awhile but th see student athletes may be tired of being students.

If these "Seniors" have their credits or darn near all their credits in place, why would they come back and pay for the whole year if they didn't need to. Just enroll for the spring semester and finish up and save money.
2ndly Definitely I can see these seniors doing this 1 semester deal if the fall remains in the online format, which is a distinct possibility and if practices cant be held in the fall.

If they are not a registered student or player on the team in the Fall, would they still be able to practice with the team? They also have team building and pre-season exhibition matches. Team building, conditioning and connections happen in the Fall in preparation for the regular season.

Team building, conditioning and connections happen in the Fall in preparation for the regular season. Plenty of athletes have taken a semester off in various sports. In men's volleyball we have a number of Atheltes matriculate in Jan and play in the spring. AND if we are relegated to online classes, we may not see any or at least limited practicing, conditioning and team building. Plus most guys practicing stop by end of November and dont resume until they get back on campus until Jan anyways. So ...Conditioning?? If they are good....and the coach's know these kids will help....they will take them.

Take electives they never had time for, take graduate courses, go to football games, etc.

Not an ncaa eligibility expert but maybe one one here.
I thought to be eligible for men's volleyball in Janurary an athelete needed to have an average of 12 units in fall, winter an spring so could not skip fall. Skipping current spring might be possible to save $ and punt class work.

didn't pick up on the fact you were talking about graduate students... I think that is a grey area. Might be a loop hole to avoid enrolling in the fall but if an athlete is serious about getting a masters and is complete with undergrad now why not attend in the fall? If it is a sham to just play and not take classes seriously, well I don't agree with that approach for several reasons but maybe there is a grad loophole to be used.
For undergrads I doubt they can take the fall off.

For undergrads I doubt they can take the fall off. I agree on education but its pretty common to hear of 5th year redshirt seniors taking hardly any classes at all in the Spring. Doubt education and specific classes are priority #1 for many considering this, unless they need to come back and finish another semester anyways and decide to make a year of it. 😉 Take a look at their class load in spring of '21. On the flip side I often see on the womens side them graduating in Dec of their Senior years and calling it a career. Of course having summer classes paid for for a couple summers puts them way ahead. Sadly that is not the case for the guys.
