It’s 2026. Time for the Ivy League to allow players like St. Rose who missed a full season due to injury to remain for a fifth year (provided they are enrolled in a bona fide graduate program). The Ivy League is an outlier that deviates from the NCAA in this regard.
I don’t expect the Ivy League to completely abandon its student-athlete model to mimic the big sports factories. But allowing one small change for the fifth year of eligibility for injured players seems reasonable.
I am wistfully wishing St. Rose good luck next year in the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, or Big 12.
