[quote=Anonymous]Starting the timer at 19 means this has no impact on redshirted kids. It seems more geared to address kids who are redshirted (or have early-for-the-year birthdays already) AND get reclassed in middle school. This rule would strongly disfavor reclassing unless your kid was young for the grade, because it would effectively steal a year of college eligibility (which could also heavily impact recruiting since a strong program will be less likely to recruit an athlete with more limited eligibility). It also seems to impact high level athletes who may delay college for other training and competition opportunities. But this is a very small percent of all college athletes and may not matter as much to them -- if you are an Olympic gymnast, you might be a bit sad to lose a year or two of NCAA eligibility, but not enough to skip the Olympics and go straight to college.[/quote]
