<p>performersmom - Do they have a masters program she can complete in the 4th year? NCAA eligibility runs 4 years and there are a lot of football kids that complete a masters while making use of their eligibility (redshirt freshmen?).</p>
<p>OTOH, if you are paying for the last year, do you want it to be the coach’s decision that costs you an extra 55k!</p>
