So, how is it possible to play your conference tournament during final exams week!?

DD *survived* her first DI fall semester, but looking at the spring softball schedule the conference tournament starts the same day as finals week.

How's that going to work!?

That stinks, but gonna hazard a guess that the students will arrange with their professors to take their exams at alternate times (the week before, early in the week, or the week after). It's not the first time this has happened in college history.

They just won’t take them so the whole team will be ineligible for the Fall…

Well perhaps for some that might add stress but for others being able to go relax on the softball field and forget about the stress of academics is a great thing.

Life has a way of working things out.

As long as teachers know ahead of time they’ll usually make accommodations.
DD is a senior but also taking grad classes and she knows that grad class will be less accommodating but coach knows that so hopefully it’s not an issue

Why would grad classes be less accommodating?

My coaches told us we needed to work out a schedule with our professors in advance of finals week. The last couple of non-virus seasons, our professors let us take them the week before our tournament...but we needed to be done before traveling for games. So, we would take finals at night.

Probably because most players stop playing before grad school. And because grad classes are predominantly at night.
when she was accepted into early grad school they specifically talked about not missing classes for softball.
