Will Drew Timme play in his fifth year?

Drew Timme might be a senior, but he's eligible to play in his fifth year for Gonzaga. The NCAA is giving players an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic that forced the cancellation of 2020 March Madness.

However, Timme is not interested in exercising that option and is looking to end his career with the Bulldogs this season.

"I've done my four years," Timme told The Athletic's Seth Davis last month. "I'm a senior, and I'm moving on."

Will a lucrative NIL offer convince Timme to stay?

"Why don't we say $100 million?" he responded.
