## Resource

The NCAA just unleashed the 5-for-5 plan, giving athletes who enroll after their 19th birthday five full seasons of eligibility — ditching redshirts and waivers for a cleaner system. Teams like Kentucky stand to gain by keeping veteran talent longer, boosting consistency and winning potential. But the downside? High school recruits face tougher odds, as veteran players gobble up roster spots, forcing coaches to prioritize proven performers over raw talent. It’s a double-edged sword reshaping college sports — not perfect for anyone, but a new reality every program must adapt to.
