Still not sure how Carter gets a year when he was in RS in 2020. He never missed a season or national tournament! The guys who should have gotten the extra year are the ones who missed out on winning a title in 2020. Not NQs and RSs. Carter doesn’t deserve the extra year, in my opinion, and I think he respects that and is conflicted with the gift that’s been presented to him.
Right… it was Mark Hall , Vincenzo Joseph, and others in their class who were hosed by the pandemic hitting near the end of the season that had already counted for them, so they only got three cracks at a NC… same thing with basketball, hockey, and other winter athletes throughout the country….
Carter and other winter athletes in HIS class throughout the country get a fifth chance at NC… in his case what would be his sixth year in college… he had a planned redshirt season behind Mark his first year…
…football and other fall sports were different… season got underway in fits and starts, but didn’t count for anyone’s eligibility…
I don’t know which spring sports season was a bonus year, if any.
