An eligibility decision by the NCAA means several important Badgers players can stay in Madison another year. The NCAA approved an age-based eligibility model, which allows athletes to play five seasons in five years if they choose.
Eligibility Details
The clock starts with their full-time enrollment in college or the academic year following their 19th birthday. Athletes can still choose to follow the old rules if they wish. This change affects players like Nolan Winter in basketball, who now has two years of eligibility remaining.
