There are two possible outcomes regarding years of eligibility in my view:

1. As long as the student is enrolled at the university as a full time student and working towards a degree of some kind offered by the university the student is eligible to play sports. No more limits on the number of years of eligibility as long as the student continues their academic pursuits.
2. Players unionize and there is a collective bargaining agreement that determines specific years of eligibility available, what defines a redshirt year, etc. The NCAA is no longer in charge at this point.

Personally I think option 1 seems most realistic. Collective bargaining would seem to require the schools to fully break away from the NCAA and create a “College Sports League” of some sort. That seems like a pile of problems for non-profit status; university non-revenue sports, Title IX, and a giant additional list of university and conference related matters.

Wheeler's stats in '25 were half what they were in '24, and was second on the depth chart. Probably wasn't going to start in '26 behind a rising junior. Good get for Baylor. But I can't imagine leaving a defending national champ for Baylor.
He was listed as a Redshirt Senior last year, LOL.

You used to be able to tell how many years a kid had left to play by that, not so much anymore. They should just do away with classifications at this point.

Also, he is out of eligibility and is awaiting the Diego Pavia lawsuit decision. He played a juco year and wants it back. He‘ll probably get it, but as it stands right now he‘s done.
