Mantz' NCAA elegibility was used all within 4 calendar years. This as opposed to 4 school years, which is 2-1/2 months short of 5 years. And certainly not a year more than that, ie. typical redshirt athlete.
Mantz didn't use the extra Covid year he had the option of using. Never was a super-senior. Or even a 5th year redshirt senior. Not for a single season.
Mantz broke no NCAA rules.
I don't like him and root against him just like I do for Rupp. Nevertheless, the above points are facts.
Will Mantz will attempt a three-peat at NCAA X-country nationals this year with his BYU teammates?
annoyed people with his little snitch companion for a few years
redshirt year
medical redshirt year
covid year
4 years normal eligibility
4 years extra secret byu eligibility
left "college" with or without a degree; no confirmation of this
