Correct. Players have 5 years to play their 4 seasons.

A player can petition for a 6th year if he has missed 2 seasons due to injury, but that's not Sanders' situation.

Wondering if B. Scarlett can apply for a 6th year. I suppose that there is a reason that this has not been mentioned.

From his kal bio:
2011: Played in 3 games before season-ending injury
2013: Redshirted due to injury
2014: Played in 5 games before season-ending injury

From an academic standpoint too, wouldn't he typically have to stay for a second year to obtain his Master's degree?

Scarlett does not appear to be eligible for a 6th year.

Generally speaking, to get a 6th year, a player must miss two seasons due to injury. Scarlett missed the full 2013 season with an injury, so that's one. The question is whether Scarlett can get a medical redshirt for 2011 or 2014, which would be a second season missed due to injury[size=0.7em].[/size][size=0.7em]

The medical redshirt rule (actually called the "hardship waiver" rule) says that a season doesn't count against a player's eligibility if (1) the player suffers a season-ending injury, (2) the injury occurs during the first half of the season, and (3) the player has participated in no more than 30% of his team's games.

Scarlett suffered season-ending injuries in both 2011 and 2014, so he meets the first requirement.
[/size]
[size=1em]In 2014, Scarlett played in 5 games, which exceeds the 30% threshold (30% of 12 games = 3.6 games, which is rounded up to 4 games).

[/size]In 2011, Scarlett played in C.al's game against Utah, which was in the second half of the season (the 7th game). So he doesn't meet the requirement that the injury must occur in the first half of the season.

So, Scarlett doesn't appear to meet the stated requirements for a medical redshirt year for either 2011 or 2014. He can petition for an 6th year anyway, but the NCAA usually sticks to the requirements as written.
