NCAA eligibility changes could affect Wisconsin Badgers athletes

The NCAA is considering a new five-for-five eligibility model that may significantly impact Wisconsin Badgers athletics. This proposed model allows athletes five years of eligibility within a five-year window, replacing the current four-season eligibility system. Interim athletic director Marcus Sedberry and coaches from basketball and volleyball have expressed support for these changes, viewing them as opportunities to improve athlete experiences. The NCAA Division I Cabinet will discuss this model during its meeting on June 23-24, while concerns about Title IX implications have also been raised regarding current eligibility policies. The changes, if approved, would begin affecting high school graduates entering college in 2026 and beyond.
