It looks like it is about that time the NCAA grants the Spring 2021 sports another year. Based on vaccine rollout plan there is no way it will be close to normal season. With the Ivies most likely not playing at all in Spring with all the opt outs already, and Big Ten announcing they are most likely in conference only. Many conferences will have no choice but to follow.
As the NCAA did with Fall(which had a full fall with conference championships and looks to have National championships in Spring season) and Winter sports for all years it is time they step up and do it for Spring 2021 years.
The NCAA will not (can not) keep giving an additional year.... Athletes will most likely be granted just one additional year but the NCAA will most likely hold to the "5" to play "4" rule.
I could be wrong but I know of a soccer player who redshirted her junior year due to injury and is a 5th year senior this year .She has said she will be coming back next fall as she is eligible according to this years NCAA ruling giving her 6 years .
I think you are right but that was an exception. Do you think the NCAA would be willing to make that exception for every player? Trust me, I am on the players side and hope that they do, but I just don't know if it is realistic.
