“I mean for me personally, I would’ve gone back for a 10th year,” Robertson said. “I’d still be there if I could, I love it that much. That’s not the case for everybody. I mean, it's your dream since you're a little kid to play professional baseball. You want to have that opportunity. We were talking today, it really gets tricky (for guys) who are fresh prospects this year who needed a big year to go into the draft and have an opportunity at professional baseball and now you don’t get that. They get their year of eligibility back but I don't know if you want to go back.

“You're 23, 22 years old and (would) be a 5th year senior. How it works with the scholarships, having that many people on the roster, it's a mess right now. It's a snowball effect. I don't know what they're going to do. It is uncharted waters. I can't imagine having 60 guys on the roster in the Fall and then guys have another year of eligibility. What classes (do) they have to take if they already graduated? It's a mess right now and people are going to have a lot on their hands to deal with next year.”
