Try having a less selfish and entitled viewpoint. All our kids missed out in different ways. Some are still missing out as athletes take the extra year they “deserve” instead of moving on now 3+ years later. It is what it is and I don’t have a problem with athletes using the extra eligibility they were granted. Especially those whose 20 season was cut short and 21 season cancelled, like ivy leaguers. But, we are seeing more cases now where it comes across as selfish and at the expense of others. Think about the 2020 hs grads - no senior hs season, no meaningful fall ball to acclimate to college level of play and bond with off campus teammates, abnormal spring season with reduced schedule and competition, 5th and 6th years filling many awards and recognition, academic awards in particular dominated by grad students. I’m not arguing 2020s should have gotten the extra year because it had to stop, but they deserve it as much as the class or two ahead of them, in most cases.
