I know I’m late to the party, but I saw/heard something about Sweatt returning. He is a senior/ began as Freshman in 2019. Played 2019,2020,2021, and 2022. But is 2020 a gimme/no count against eligibility? I know it was at the time, but is it a true option? Counts or doesn’t count based on player decision. He’s a hell of a player,but likely is better off with some NIL money than UDFA. What do we know about that?
 
I wouldn’t sweat this.

Having him back would be sweet, or maybe salty.

And where there’s Patterson, there’s Sweatt.

I looked up the Covid Eligibility rule here: NCAA Extra Year of Eligibility | Coronavirus Rules

What does an extra year of eligibility mean?
All student-athletes whose 2020-2021 season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will now get 6 years to compete in 4 full seasons of their sport in college. Traditionally, there is a 5-year clock for athletes to play 4 years. For seniors, this ruling meant a chance to finish out their college careers. For others, it opens a door to new academic and athletic opportunities.


Based on this and that T'Vondre played in enough games each year in 2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022 for the year to qualify as a full season eligibility-wise, he should not get the extra year. A full season used to be playing in more than 3 games in that season. I am not sure if this is still accurate. Seems that I remember that being increased to 4 games a few years back.

I read this as the period to compete in four "full" seasons is increased from 5 years to 6 years, not that an additional "full" season is available.

BUT I hope my interpretation is wrong.
 
I confirmed that Sweatt is eligible to return. Unless some Dbag agent talks to him about getting drafted, he’ll be back.
