Women's BBall is not the only sport that pays for a 5-year complete ride if the school lets you. My niece played Volleyball in the SEC. When she was being recruited she was told that the school would pay for up to 5 years of study, even if she completed her eligibility in her first 4 years. She signed a 4-year scholarship contract and required the inclusion of language regarding 5 paid years at the university. The university honored their commitment and she graduated with a double major in 5 years, all paid by the university, even though her athletic eligibility was used up in her first 4 years.
