I'll ask my standard question on this -- does Yale make you leave school in order to preserve eligibility, or can you take five years to graduate? In other words, does Mason have to leave school in order to have two more years at Yale?

I understand that there are financial incentives to leaving school, and there are also reasons to stay in school, graduate on time, and save that fifth year for grad school (like Grant Mullins did). However, there are some Ivy schools where you MUST leave school in order to preserve the 4th year of eligibility (Princeton definitely has the rule). At other schools, my understanding is that the 4 in 5 rule allows you to stay in school if you like, take 5 years to graduate, and use your injury year as a 5th year senior.

Can't think of 5th year guys at Yale off the top, other than Dominick Martin, who was in school for 5 years, but transferred to Yale from Princeton and had to sit out a year.
