## Resource

The NCAA just unveiled its biggest rule change in years—the “5-for-5” eligibility clock—aimed at leveling the playing field for college athletes. Every player now gets five years to play five seasons, eliminating loopholes for injury extensions or redshirting. The clock starts when you graduate high school or turn 19, whichever comes first, which impacts international recruits and older players entering college. Designed to curb chaotic player movement and boost team continuity, the rule also includes exceptions for military service and maternity leave. Expect recruiting strategies to shift as programs focus on long-term development over experienced transfers. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
