What’s the bad that could come out of it? As long as they keep the age rule I don’t see any negative to this?

I'm assuming this means, basically, that this means seniors could come back for a 5th year of high school. Correct?

Negative impact, that means the state has to foot the bill for an extra year of school for a lot of kids. Plus it means the possibility of freshman on the football field with 19 year olds. That's a physical risk. Plus it means schools that are built and staffed to support 4 grade levels are having to fit in extra students that were not accounted for. Any schools that are already shoe-horning kids into classrooms are going to have to potentially plan for an entire additional grade level worth of kids in their building. And they had better hope they're not understaffed. Plus, what classes do students take during their second senior year? Are there enough elective classes for those students to fill a class schedule when they take their high school victory lap?

States already said they wouldn’t foot the Bill. Freshman are already on the field with 19 year olds. And is there gonna be that many students to hold back where it stresses class size? I think you’ll see some schools start offering virtual classes with the way things have went. A lot of seniors leave at 12 o’clock now a days. They take two classes then either do a work release, college courses, or some sort of student aid.

You gotta keep in mind that most people on this site will only see what advantages their team my get in the field and not the problems it will cause in the class room

All I’m thinking about is the athlete. With the transfer portal and the NCAA not counting this year against athletes it’s killing seniors recruitment. A once in a lifetime virus calls for once in a lifetime measures.
