The NCAA is giving "serious consideration" to a five-year age-based eligibility concept, per @RossDellenger Division I Cabinet members will meet today to discuss further.

I’m not entirely convinced by the usual explanation for why so many kids, often cited at around 70%, quit by age 13. Pushy parents and inexperienced volunteer coaches are commonly blamed, but I think there’s more to it. As kids get older, they develop greater self-awareness and start to recognize that they’re not as skilled as they once believed when they were just playing freely at ages six, seven, or eight. The reality is that many young players never build a solid technical foundation, which hinders understanding of the game. As the game becomes more demanding, requiring greater commitment, involving more travel, and offering less playing time, those shortcomings become harder to ignore. Faced with these challenges, a lot of kids lose interest. When basic skills like first touch or ball control aren’t there, the gap feels too big to close, and many simply decide to walk away.
The NCAA is exploring a significant change to its eligibility rule, sources tell @YahooSports. The proposal creates an age-based standard: Athletes would have 5 years of eligibility from their 19th birthday or HS graduation. No redshirts or waivers. bit.ly/3POqo2D
The NCAA D1 Cabinet will vote next week on 5 years of eligibility for all athletes. Per @RossDellenger the 5-year would give athletes five full years of eligibility from the time of their 19th birthday or their high school graduation, whichever is earliest.
