The NCAA Division One Cabinet approves the five-for-five rule. A college athlete would have a five-year window to complete five years of eligibility. No more red shirt seasons or waivers, and possibly more roster predictability for teams.
For athletes that just completed their fourth season of eligibility, they will not receive an additional year. Athletes who still have eligibility can use the previous eligibility rules or the new age-based model. The new rule applies to high school students who have just graduated and are entering college.
The Pelicans did not make a blockbuster trade that would have given them a Top 10 pick in the first round of last night’s NBA draft. Such a deal would have required New Orleans to trade either Trey Murphy or Herb Tyler.
Former Ponchatoula High star Allen Graves was selected by the Toronto Raptors with the 19th overall pick. The six-foot-eight forward averaged 11 points and six rebounds in his freshman season at Santa Clara.
