Eight years of eligibility?

How is this possible?

COVID year + this

Redshirt Sophomore (California, 2019-20)
Cayton missed the entire 2019-20 season with a knee injury. She earned her bachelor's degree from California in May of 2020.

Redshirt Sophomore (California, 2018-19)
As a redshirt sophomore in 2018-19, Cayton returned to the court for eight minutes in a debut against her hometown school, Pacific (Nov. 18), before playing two minutes against Tulane (Nov. 23) and scoring her only points of the season in a win at San Diego (Nov. 24). She played three total games in her third year before undergoing surgery to repair cartilage damage in her right knee.

Sophomore (California, 2017-18)
She opened her sophomore season with 13 points, including a career-high-tying three three-pointers in a win over Saint Mary's (Nov. 10), but missed the remainder of the year after suffering a torn ACL. Cayton did not play the rest of the season.

TLDR: her knees are fucked

She actually replied to my tweet asking the same question.



Though I still don’t think I’ve ever heard of something like this. I know they’ll give you a year back if you miss two to injury… but I didn’t know you could miss an unlimited amount of time (three years in this case, it appears) and still get to play.

Not right. Directly taking a scholarship away from a 2023 kid.
