Eligibility question???????? coaches and knowledgable folk

[EducatedEye]

played two years at Juco in 99-00 and 00-01
about to go to a four year school does that person still have athletic eligiblity or does the 10 semester rule rule him out???????

 

[dnell]

i think your eligibility will be up. There is some thing called a clock that starts when you begin playing i really don't remember the details but i know he wouldn't be able to

Actually you should have 2 years of eligibilty within a 6 semester time frame regardless of when you started. I'm going to search further and I'll let you know what I find out

There is no such thing as a clock...If you played two years of junior college basketball, that is considered 4 of the ten full sememsters...I doesnt matter if you take a year or twenty years off, as long as you dont attend full time, you do not lose that year of eligibility....the second school i played at in Cali, we had a guy who played at Stanford for one year (89-90), then took five years off of school, came back to my college and still had three years of eligibility left...

Actually there is a clock, XD1. If I understand it correctly it is for all individuals who start out at D1 , they have 5 years or 10 semesters to complete there athletic career. It starts the 1st semester they enroll and goes for 10 continous semesters. It goes in to detail on the site below

Really, I didnt even know that...thanks for the info...is that a new rule, say in the past five years or so??

Yes X, they started the rule about 5 years ago. They also have a age restriction now.

The age restriction is for D1 only, right..bc i remember reading about a 45 year old guy playing football for Kutztown University a couple of years ago..

There was a 39 yr old retired Army vet who played football for Lou Hotz last yr at U of S. Carolina.

The age rule is for division 1 and they make exemptions for guys who serve in the military.
