Summary - NCAA is considering a rule that limits eligibility to 5 full years after high school graduation or 19th bday, whichever comes first. The current rule gives a 5 year clock without regard to age or year of high school graduation.

There are some exceptions for circumstances like pregnancy or military service.

I am all for it. The “reclassing” madness is out of hand.

That stinks. We won’t have anymore moves like “necessary roughness.”

I am for it if all the D1 college coaches are fine with capping the highest salary at like $1MM per year.

Couldn’t possibly care less. It’s all just basically pro sports now anyway.

Should be 5 years after the 18th birthday. 19 year olds are way too common in high school sports. Athletes are graduating high school after turning 20 now.

Would you be okay with your 13 or 14 year old daughter being in school with 19 and 20 year old boys?

Horrible analogy

Reclassing should never be allowed.

I went to school with so many athletes who turned 20 when they graduated. It's insanity

20?? I finished my junior year of college at age 20. Are people really holding kids back multiple years?

Why? There are 20 year old men in school with 14 year old girls. Hopefully they aren’t dating them, but they coexist in high school together.

I don't understand how this helps. My kid started kindergarten on time and is going to graduate from high school at 17 and start college at 17. Redshirted kids will be 19 and starting college. How does this rule help?

This only really affects certain sports. Most male hockey players play juniors before college. That means that freshman hockey players are generally starting school around age 21.

Help what? It’s not meant to help your 17 year old kid, it’s meant to limit how much money kids can earn from college sports since you have kids in their 7th year of college earning millions (some of whom won’t have as lucrative pro careers…or maybe no pro career).
