I'm sure I could google this, but I'm guessing someone here knows.
Do the underclassman get an extra year too if they want, or just the seniors.
Like, if someone was a freshman this year and played, can they stay for a 5th year in 2024?

NCAA approves blanket waiver for 2020 fall sports athletes to retain year of eligibility (CBS, Aug 21)
quote:
... The NCAA Board of Governors took a landmark step on Friday by approving a measure that will grant an extra year of eligibility to all fall sports athletes. Even athletes who compete this fall will be eligible for an extra year under the rule, which was recommended earlier this week by the Division I Council. The extension of eligibility for fall athletes follows a similar measure approved by the NCAA earlier this year with spring athletes who had most of their 2020 seasons erased by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"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."
Granting an extra year of eligibility could bring complications for schools; however, the NCAA's announcement said senior student-athletes who take advantage of the added year of eligibility will not count against team scholarship limits in 2021-22...

2020 didn’t count against anyone’s eligibility. So every freshman still has 5 years of eligibility left.

Cool thanks, that's what I thought.
My friends cousin plays for the girls BB team and I knew she was going to get an extra year.
