Does anyone know if the NCAA gives seniors an extra year of eligibility because of the virus, can Ryan come back to Penn or does the stupid Ivy rules screw that up

I know there is talk of senior eligibility for other conferences but it seems nt feasible to me. These guys and gals all played the whole year. And would underclassmen all get an extra year? I can see it for the spring sports.

Agreed.
Regardless of what the NCAA does, can anyone imagine the Ivy League giving another year of eligibility to basketball players? No chance.
I'll even be a little surprised if they work out something for spring sports.

Not sure if it’s been shared on here or not, but Betley is in the transfer portal.

And he will almost certainly have 2 years of eligibility to earn a Masters for free. It's what he said he was going to do and good luck to him.

Wait how would he get 2 more years? You mean if NCAA gives winter sports seniors another year of eligibility? I’m still pretty doubtful of that one...

Yes, that is a mistake. I was thinking he missed 2 seasons rather than one.

Stanford's an interesting one, I don't believe they've ever taken a grad transfer for basketball, and I read they've only taken one for football. I do remember it being a story a few years ago where a Stanford football player wanted to play a 5th year as a graduate student at Stanford and was denied admission to the graduate school and had to grad transfer elsewhere instead.
If Betley is able to get through admissions then definitely a strong option to have degrees from Penn and Stanford with the latter being free

From a basketball perspective, it would seem that Arizona and Louisville would be the top two. As Louisville already took a Penn graduate transfer in Tony Hicks, they may have some familiarity with what an Ivy League athlete brings to their program

I hope it's Stanford. I could probably make it to a few games if he gets some PT.

By Pitino. So maybe not something Louisville remembers fondly.

Doubtful but hopes it William and Mary so he can be the one to finally lead them into the tourney.

My guess, and I have no information to support it, is that he will pick between Arizona and Louisville.

I hate to say it, but these teams are not getting the Betley they think they are. Unless another offseason brings better health, I don’t see how he competes with that level of competition. Maybe as an off-the-bench shooter who can provide a quick spark, but nothing like these other transfers will bring.

I actually think it is the opposite— he could fit better at a bigger school if he finds the right fit. At Penn, he was the number one perimeter shooter and a focus of every defense. This year, he was forced into tougher defensive assignments because of both guarding 4s at times and our lack of perimeter defenders after Goodman. At a high major, he will just be a shooter, and probably the fourth option when he is out there. Seems ideal for him to just knock down shots. And he will be easier to hide or help on defense.
He may be a better high major fit than Aiken or Smith as a role player.

Drexel. Doesn't have to move far if at all and the competition will suit his talent. Oh and he'll play for one of Donahue's buddies with pretty much the same CYO offense.
