I honestly don't think many people, particularly the faux "journalists" on the internet even understand it much less have read it.
From an NCAA-related site on college eligibility rules:
" 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."
The NCAA's intent was to accommodate those players whose seasons got cancelled due to COVID, not give them 5 years of playing time.
