Main Body
The NCAA changed the rules about how long students can play sports. Now, students have five years to play. Some students from 2022 cannot play a fifth year. This is not fair because newer students can play more.
NCAA 修改了關於學生可以參與運動項目的時長規定。現在，學生有五年的參賽時間。但 2022 年的部分學生無法參與第五年的比賽。這是不公平的，因為較晚入學的學生反而能參與更多比賽。
