It does not apply to the 2026 graduates it applies to SA's who are participating in 2026/2027 school year. My understanding is they will need to register for the extra year prior to the start of the 2026/2027 class year. It will hurt high school recruiting for softball since everyone will now have the 5th year opportunity. Maybe they should make high school 5 years. It will definitely impact unrecruited 2027's and 2028's.
