I agree.5 years in college is enough. This 6 and 7 is ridiculous. It backs up the opportunities for others kids and especially has a major effect on HS baseball players.
Some college athletes who are not exactly pro prospects will suckle the NIL as long as they can to postpone entering the real world for perhaps less money.
I can remember when college freshmen weren't allowed to participate in varsity football and basketball (this ended in 1972). Redshirting began in 1961, and I may be wrong, but I don't recall seeing very many 5th year seniors back in the day.
That's probably due to them wanting to get on with their lives, get a job and start making money as productive adults.
