The season was done for about 300 teams. There should be some sort of reward for the season that was. If you were going to the tourney and are a Sr. that wants to remain at the same school, you can play another year. Something like that. That's your reward.

The NCAA will decide if winter sport athletes get an extra year of eligibility.

Dalton & Seljaas? Doesn't Nixon's wife have another year of VBall?

I think it's extremely unlikely either would return regardless. Just my opinion.

Yeah, college basketball is cool and all, but they have families to support.

You have your entire life to make a living. 1 more year playing ball is nothing.

It's something if you are trying to make a living playing basketball.

Unless they want graduate school

TJ could move up the ranks in pts, assts, and games (and never be passed in gms)

Scholarships paying cost of attendance changes this equation. It would be much

I hope so, not just for BYU basketball but I feel bad for a lot of the athletes

Nuke

Depending on how they deal with scholarships, I could see 3 of them coming back

byubyu

Would love them all to come back but TJ should definitely come back. TJ, Tyler,

The "They are already too old" clause.

They are allowed to come back...But they will be suspended for the entire season

Most of the teams still had a shot at the tourney since their conference tourney

cougarfann888

3/25/20 1:02pm

Yeah, but for this year, you just assume the regular season winner is champ.

Yep. That's what the WCC did in 1990 after Hank Gathers died, and it's what the

Mark Cuban or someone should put on a March Madness-like tourney this summer

This year is a unique opportunity to do something fun and creative.

so fewer scholarships for incoming freshmen. what a mess

Belboz

Who knows, maybe they would all come back.

TJ returning would be bigger than Toolson (who probably couldn’t redshirt if

puntersarepeople

3/25/20 1:06pm

I probably agree but next years team needs more shooting

thebruce

3/25/20 1:08pm

Yeah but adding a shooter isn’t as hard as adding a creator

puntersarepeople

3/25/20 1:23pm

Doesn’t seem like Wade will play much if at all

thebruce

3/25/20 2:23pm

No, they wouldn’t replace Toolson as a shooter

puntersarepeople

3/25/20 2:30pm

My gut feeling is they won't allow it given most regular seasons were complete.

SayMyName

3/25/20 1:17pm

This would be the only thing that could soften the blow of no March Madness.

Mr. Scoobs

Agreed

I am convinced the NCAA will not allow

3/25/20 2:24pm

Our government could fix that! It would be a 10,000 page bill with 1 line in it that said we'll cover those costs.

I don't think it'll happen, but if it did, all I ask for is Baxter to get 1 more

How is this breaking news? They were always going to decide. And they'll decide

Pretty sure Toolson said it was time for him to move on.
