Choosing Baylor can only be about location and/or "everything else" that goes with being at Baylor. Unless she's planning to study the early history of the Baptists, I seriously doubt Baylor possesses a single graduate or professional program that is unquestionably better than what any other major vball program's school could offer. No judgement in that decision. Just setting the record straight, there. I checked this out and you're correct. Baylor's highest rated programs are the U.S. Army-Baylor health programs, which are operated in San Antonio. None of the others are near the top

COVID bonus season clarification question - does it apply to everyone, or just players who were seniors in 2020-21? To put it another way, do the freshmen who matriculated in 2020 get to play in fall 21, 22, 23, AND 24?
Does the "returning seniors don't count towards your 12 scholarships" thing only apply for the 2021-22 season? Or will that apply through the 2024-25 school year as well?

There is the very highly regarded Baylor College of Medicine, at the TMC in Houston, but it has zero affiliation with BU in Waco.

Does the "returning seniors don't count towards your 12 scholarships" thing only apply for the 2021-22 season? Or will that apply through the 2024-25 school year as well? Everyone (regardless if they opted out of participating in the season) gets an extra season of eligibility and an extra year on their clock, according to the NCAA.
Winter sport student-athletes who compete during 2020-21 in Division I will receive both an additional season of competition and an additional year in which to complete it, the Division I Council decided. The same flexibility was provided to student-athletes after the spring season was canceled in 2020 and the fall season was seriously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Another quote:
"All fall sport student-athletes will receive both and additional year of eligibility and an additional year in which to complete it," the NCAA said in a release. "Student-athletes who do not enroll full time during the 2020 fall term have flexibility in the progress-toward-degree requirements that must be met for eligibility in future terms."

Does the "returning seniors don't count towards your 12 scholarships" thing only apply for the 2021-22 season? Or will that apply through the 2024-25 school year as well?The scholarship exemption only applies to the 2021-22 season "Allowed institutions to consider student-athletes who would have exhausted eligibility at the conclusion of the 2019-20 academic year to return to the same institution and to exempt athletically related financial aid up to the equivalent to the aid counted toward team financial aid limits during 2019-20 from the 2020-21 financial aid limitations,provided that student-athlete received a season-of-competition waiver and/or extension of eligibility based on COVID-19 (criteria outlined above). Absent receipt of any additional financial aid that counts toward the team's financial aid limit, these student athletes will not be considered counters for 2020-21." Extended to fall and winter sports here Exempt aid awarded to any fall or winter sport student-athlete who would have
exhausted eligibility during 2020-21 but returns to the same institution during 2021-
22 due to the aforementioned COVID-19 relief (season-of-competition waivers or extensions of eligibility). An institution may exempt aid up to an amount equivalent to the aid counted toward team financial aid limits during 2020-21 from the 2021-22
financial aid limitations. In addition, an institution may reduce or not renew such aid for the eligible student-athletes without being required to provide an opportunity to appeal the decision.

Got it. |

Got it. That is correct, noting that it doesn't matter if you played in the spring 2021 season or not.
If you opted out for 2020-21, and you had already redshirted a season before that, then you'll obviously only be able to complete four seasons in the six calendar years.
If you hadn't redshirted before covid year, and you opted out this year (defacto redshirt), then you will indeed get to play in five seasons, just like Fall 2020 seniors who decided to play in the Spring 2021 season will get to play a fifth season in Fall 2021.

Makes sense. So when people are talking about this screwing over the 2022s for recruiting, they mean because the 2021s may all decide to redshirt their freshman season (fall 2021) to leave room for the "COVID seniors" (seniors in the 2020-21 school year) who may return for an extra season? And then that will create a logjam and make it so teams have fewer roster spots & scholarships for the 2022s during their career?

Isn't there a family connection between Baylor and Skinner?

Isn't there a family connection between Baylor and Skinner? Yes, her father Brian was a basketball player at Baylor. Believe he is in the Baylor Hall of Fame. |

What is objective is that the number of starting/significant contributing spots is somewhat fixed and finite. Expanding rosters with an "extra" class over the next five seasons likely means that someone who would've gotten to play (more) in normal circumstances, will not be playing (as much) because a super-senior is playing instead.

That may not be what actually happens but what you just said is the concern for '22s (and their parents). I've talked to more than one parent who said interest in their DD totally dried up and they had to scramble to find another school or are in limbo now. Other girls are communicating with schools that want them to do their official visit as soon as June 1st hits. I think June/July is going to be filled with activity. |

You would have to be quite the freshman to take playing time away from a super senior. |

Will the only super-seniors be those very likely to start or highly contribute?
I guess that makes sense, why stay an "extra" year to mostly not play. But you could also conceive that a lot of transferring "down" levels of play (even within DI) in the hopes of more playing time for the last season, could happen.

Skinner to Baylor is a major downgrade. She could play for any team in the country. She could have gone to PSU. What makes you think Penn State is currently a better program than Baylor? Getting Pritchard and Rollins.. Add Skinner to the mix.. |
