Add to this the fact the schools may not even offer the limited scholarships to some of these athletes that they are already receiving and I could see many not even taking the extra year. There have been a couple Northern basketball players the last few years that had another year of eligibility, but graduated and did not play a fifth year. Granted, those guys didn't play at all, but were still scholarship players. Sure, exceptions would be made for the best players and I'm sure the schools would make sure they still receive scholarships. But, I could see a lot of football players deciding to just move on especially if they have already completed five years of school and graduated.

How many fall athletes would take that extra year of eligibility though? With football, most players redshirt their freshman year anyway, so they are already in school five years. Would they/do they want to do a sixth year of school or get on with life? With the other fall sports, sure a fifth year of competition sounds nice, but the reality of things is college is usually the end of the line for most in their athletic pursuits. Does an athlete, who most likely isn't on a scholarship or on a very limited scholarship, want to take on an extra year of loans/debt or will they get on with life?

Mules basketball was already three years ahead of the CDC guidelines for dealing with a pandemic.
(1) The (AD) Jerry Hughes had long ago mandated 6' spacing between fans in the stands to make the "crowd" appear larger.
(2) Mules fans were already wearing paper bags over their heads to hide their identity, so the switch to face masks is no big deal.
(3) Jerry always sits at the end of the scorers table (next to the Mules bench) so Jerry and coach K can still hold hands as long as they use hand sanitizer.
