I think some might if they’re pursuing graduate degrees...

Because getting a year of that paid for is very nice. But if they’re not pursuing a grad degree and want to get out into their career then they probably wouldn’t.

But if you plan to be in school still anyway then why not play and get it paid for?

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.

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

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

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

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

buckeyecougarguy

This why they should've come out with a bracket. It shouldn't be a blanket thing

mokelembembe

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

cougarfann888

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

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.

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.
