I'm going with "A team retains control for four full years of eligibility."
Ciccolini and Hughes played all four year of their initial eligibility.
Kjellberg has played three years and was eligible for a fourth but it was wiped out due to COVID, so that year doesn't count. This is his fourth year.
Even Nanne--medical exception his first season or it just didn't count because he never played; his transfer year that he sat out is the first year of eligibility; then three years of actual play brings us to four years.
I'm sure there are plenty of examples where this theory doesn't work, but I'm rolling with it.
COVID definitely threw us for a loop because it added another layer of complexity to this but I think you're right with that reasoning and it will apply to 95% of players, maybe even 98%.
Nanne is still a freak exception that I still do not understand. For the remaining NCAA (eligible) players, I think this is the timeline
