NCAA's 'five-for-five' eligibility rule moves one step closer to vote

The NCAA Division I Board of Directors has advanced discussions on a proposed rule that would grant college athletes five years of eligibility, known as the 'five-for-five' rule. The measure is moving closer to a formal vote, which could significantly expand eligibility windows for student-athletes across all Division I sports. No final decision has been made yet, but the progression indicates growing institutional support for the change.
