So why didn’t the Class of 2021 receive the same extension? They were impacted by COVID just as much as the Class of 2020, yet the Class of 2020 received a fifth year of eligibility. Now the NCAA has changed the eligibility rules again, giving the Class of 2022 another year. So why was the Class of 2021 skipped? In the midst of all the COVID chaos, the Class of 2021 spent its entire four-year career competing against older players who had been granted extra eligibility. In many cases, they faced fifth- and even sixth-year athletes because the NCAA extended eligibility for previous classes. So why is the NCAA treating the Class of 2021 differently? It’s as if that entire class didn’t matter. There’s a class-action lawsuit, Peterson v. NCAA, seeking compensation to recover monetary damages for the Class of 2021 due to lost NIL opportunities and the unfair impact of being denied a fifth year of eligibility. I’m just trying to understand the NCAA’s reasoning because none of this makes sense. Can someone explain why the Class of 2021 was left out?
