News Summary:

On June 25, 2026, the NCAA announced it would eliminate waivers and redshirts from its new age-based eligibility model, instituting a five-year framework with only narrow exceptions for extensions, such as pregnancy, religious missions, or active-duty military service. This shift was partly spurred by the NCAA's increasing legal challenges across the country. Previously, on June 24, the organization's Division I Cabinet unanimously approved new rules clarifying athlete eligibility, permitting up to five years of competition if a student enrolls no later than the academic year following their 19th birthday. These rules aim to address the rising trend of student-athletes utilizing the transfer portal to pursue additional playing time or endorsement opportunities. This followed the NCAA's initial announcement on June 23 of a significant change to eligibility rules for Division I athletes, stating its goal was to reduce the chaos in college sports that emerged after athletes gained the right to earn money, transfer without penalty, and prompted the industry to share revenue with players.
