NCAA Proposes Five-Year Eligibility Window, Eliminates Waivers

The NCAA is floating a sweeping eligibility reform: a five-year window to compete from the time a student turns 19 or graduates high school, whichever comes first, with no waivers or redshirts except for limited cases. The proposal, discussed by a committee next week, could take effect as soon as this fall and aligns conceptually with President Trump’s executive order, while potentially reducing avenues for lawsuits over extra years.

NCAA Eyes Five-Year Eligibility with Age Cap and Stricter Redshirt Rules

The Division I NCAA Cabinet is weighing a proposal to grant student-athletes five full years of eligibility, starting from their 19th birthday or high school graduation, whichever comes first, with a hard age limit and strict redshirt/waiver restrictions limited to a small group of outliers (maternity leave, military service, religious missions). If approved, the rule could roll out as soon as fall 2026 in phases, and would seek to protect current players while addressing past waiver use and related political discussions around extending eligibility.

NCAA Mulls Five-Year Eligibility With Age Threshold, Scrapping Redshirts

The NCAA is weighing a sweeping eligibility overhaul that would grant five years of varsity eligibility once players turn 19 or graduate high school, with no redshirts or waivers and only narrow exceptions (maternity, military service, religious missions). The change could start as soon as Fall 2026 and would be phased to protect current athletes; questions remain about whether players in their final season would receive an additional year under the new policy.

Duke's Offseason Shuffle Kicks Off as Darren Harris Enters Transfer Portal

Duke opened its offseason with Darren Harris entering the transfer portal—the first exit in what could be a busy period for Jon Scheyer's program. Harris, a former four-star recruit who rarely played in two seasons, leaves as Duke weighs significant decisions from other rotation pieces, with Maliq Brown’s eligibility ending and Cameron Boozer likely pursuing the NBA Draft. The transfer portal is open through April 21, and more Duke players could depart or stay as the roster reshaping continues.
