I suppose the players looking for retroactive benefits may find it worthwhile to also look at new play options. They can harvest any unused eligibility due to COVID or redshirting. If they have, alas and alack, already graduated they can enroll in graduate school, play another year or two, reap the new pay to play benefits and earn a Ph. D. in the use of the Oxford comma.

I can see that on T-shirts and ball caps and all over the scoreboard.

It’s always “better in the tellin’,” Bob. Particularly when the tale can be seasoned with “the invention of the telephone”📞, and trying to “sell Look magazine subscriptions”😃
