NCAA moves toward five-year eligibility, phasing out redshirts
TL;DR Summary
The NCAA moved closer to allowing student-athletes up to five years of eligibility, potentially eliminating redshirt seasons. The plan would start the eligibility clock after age 19 or high school graduation and would require schools to cover up to 10 years of tuition to complete a degree if a student leaves, with current 2025-26 athletes exempt; the Division I Cabinet will discuss the proposal at its May 22 meeting before a final decision.
