5 to play 5

[whereiend]

I've seen some speculation about the NCAA potentially making 5 to play 5 take effect immediately for  last year's seniors.

This would mean another year for guys like Jordan Pope and Weaver. Has there been any discussion of this? If it happened, would Texas have room for any of these guys at this point or would they have to portal?

Of course it would make more sense to have it take effect next year, but you never know...

It hasn't been determined whether or not it would go into effect immediately. Texas has two roster spots open after today but would likely need another big, and probably doesn't have the necessary NIL for either unless they want to take a pay cut. If somehow it gets passed and all these guys have an extra year I would think most would have to pick another school with teams trying to finalize their rosters under the current rules.

Good info from both of you. With the NCAA dragging its feet, it’s hard to know if this hits immediately or not. If seniors really do get another year, that’s a ton of roster chaos.

Texas having two spots is nice, but with the need for a big + limited NIL, it’s tough to see many of those guys fitting unless they’re willing to take less. Most would probably have to hit the portal anyway.

Why would NIL be limited for a big talent??   🤷🏿‍♂️
