GAME CHANGER: NCAA's New Eligibility Format is AWESOME for Syracuse

NCAA shakes up college sports with a new “five for five” eligibility model, ending redshirts and waivers while capping all athletes at five years to play five seasons. How will this impact Syracuse Orange football, especially for players like Steve Angeli and Demetres Samuel? Host Jackson Holzer explains why the changes are a game-changer for student-athletes and what exceptions—like religious missions and military service—could mean for future eligibility disputes. Syracuse basketball fans, get ready: the Orange will face UConn in a long-awaited exhibition matchup for the first time since 2018. Is this preseason contest a preview of a blockbuster regular season rivalry in 2027–28? Key topics include Gerry McNamara’s scheduling strategy, how Syracuse’s nonconference slate stacks up with opponents like St. John’s, Providence, Indiana, and Oklahoma, and why the UConn exhibition offers a crucial, low-pressure test for the team’s postseason ambitions.   Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedon_syracuse?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/lockedonsyracuse/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582737780703 Locked On Syracuse Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Syracuse Jackson Holzer's Twitter: https://x.com/jholzer52   Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
