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 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?[/quote]

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).[/quote]
