Following the NCAA's lead Kentucky is allowing Seniors to return for an extra year to play sports. Not sure what to think about this. Obviously this year's Seniors have been dealt a cruddy hand but this is going to have a trickle down effect on the kids who are now Juniors and Sophomores.

It would be like a free year of college, and you might not even have to set foot in your school except for sports.

But our world has had many of these -- think WWI and WWII. Did high school kids in 1918 or 1945 ask for a do-over because history intervened in their otherwise tidy lives? My son was supposed to get married in Rome this June. Sucks that it can't happen, but they're moving on with plans for a ceremony in Fla. Move on...learn from history.

This is currently only a "bill", and has only passed one body of the legislature. Many do not feel this will pass the House in KY.

Yes it does, there are statutory and academic concerns, academics need to come first. I feel for kids vying for scholarships but I wouldn’t want my 14 year old daughter being courted by 19 year old super seniors. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

And it might go on down the line because it would give an extra year to anyone in grades 9-12 this year. So there could be fifth-year seniors to accommodate for the next four years. In addition, the bill would apply to all students, not just athletes, so there could be additional overcrowding issues in schools. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I had an employee who had gotten almost a whole year in before she actually was a freshman. I seem to recollect that she actually attended classes. She finished her degree in three years so whatever she took earlier did not seem to slow her down. If anyone else reads this and can chime in as well.

Not that I grew up in Athens, but I was able to graduate with an Associates and hit the ground running at OU. Even took cluster my second semester on campus. Since I was determined to graduate early I did miss out on joining some orgs like Fixed Income, Alpha Kappa Psi, etc. In hindsight it probably would have been better to pick up a second major and go all 4 years Back to Top GoCats105 General User Member Since: 1/31/2006 Location: Seattle, WA Post Count: 7,070 Status: Offline     RE: OT: Kentucky Allows HS Seniors 5th Year    Posted: 3/5/2021 5:37:23 PM  I just keep thinking of that one senior that nobody really likes being REALLY excited about having another year of high school. Like O'Banion from Dazed & Confused.

Athens Middle School seventh graders can take classes at OU. It's not just high school seniors.

He then returned home to Cincinnati to play as a high school frosh and I believe he finished his high school days in West Virginia.
