Just change 5 years to get 4 to 6 years to get 4

The current rule is that athletes have 5 years to complete their 4 year eligibility with the clock starting Freshman year. The NCAA should just make it 6 years to complete the 4 years for every student enrolling this fall. Let the schools decide if they want to renew a scholarship for a player. Let them explore the transfer portal. I really don't see the issue. It actually seems like a good lead-in to the NIL and letting the players get a taste of the "what have you done for me lately" mindset that exists throughout business and professional ranks.
