I have no idea if Jenna Brown is on scholarship. If she was, what is Stanford's policy for giving a scholarship to a fifth year player due to Covid. Would they say, "Sorry we aren't giving you a scholarship for a fifth year because we want to give it to some other player."
Unlike volleyball, WBB doesn't keep it secret who is on scholarship. There is hardly ever anyone on the roster not on scholarship.
This year the 15-scholarship limit is relaxed in that scholarships for players who are coming back for an extra year because of COVID don't count, but for 22-23 there will be a hard limit of 15 scholarships again.
Recruited players are promised a scholarship for four years only. Whether a player who has eligibility left is invited back for additional years is at the discretion of the head coach.
A few years ago Ros Gold-Onwude was able to come back for a 5th year only because Skylar Diggins turned down her offer and went to Notre Dame instead.
