He should let everyone know how much is needed to complete this fundraiser and once that goal is achieved any extra will funds will remain in this relief fund for another rainy day.

1) Ask the seniors if they want to redshirt and stay here to claim some unfinished business.

OR

2) Ask the seniors if they really want to finish their final days at UH and graduate.

While yes, limited scholarships could be up to question, you would hate to see them feel disappointed on their season cancelled by some unknown reason. The coronavirus debacle has seriously dampened everybody’s mood and pretty much has afflicted all schools across financially, not just ours. But here, it’s really disappointing to imagine how much really the teams could have done had this sort of thing not happened. Honestly, I think the student-athletes should be given an opportunity to rethink and consider their options before making such a posthaste decision to graduate. It’s just me, but I’m just throwing suggestions to see if it can be an idea worth noting.

For them, cost is not a factor. For schools like UH that struggles to manage a financially challenged budget, the additional cost may compel administration to not offer this option to the seniors affected by a Covid-19 shortened season.
