College athletes and institutions are navigating the implications of the NCAA's new age-based, 5-for-5 eligibility rule.
What happened

This change has triggered a range of responses from student-athletes, including Utah quarterback Devon Dampier and Iowa State quarterback Jaylen Raynor, who are considering the impact on their future collegiate and professional careers.
