NCAA Eligibility changing?

This has been rumored for a while, but looks like some movement.

I thought last time it was gaining support, it was put on hold due to multiple pending lawsuits.

I like the 5 years to compete 4 and do away with all redshirts. Clock starts no later than 19 yrs. Just sayin.

That was pretty much the rule when I was in school except that the start time was only predicated on when you first started school, not your age or when you graduated from HS. If someone first started college when they were 30 years old, they were still eligible for 4 years of competition and it had to be completed within 5 years of their first year in college. I think a return to that rule would solve the problem. No need to put age or HS graduation dates into the equation. That just invites lawsuits.

(Keep in mind that Sadulaev is still eligible with that rule. We want to keep it that way in case he is interested.)

As long as universities accept older students, they should also be able to compete in sports.

Remember when Carter said being a 5x champ meant little to him, because it was a fluke opportunity and nobody before him had it?

Who will be the next 5x champ?

This will eliminate the epic matches we saw in Levi vs a 34 year old Austin O'Connor or ANYONE vs Brock Hardy

I don't think Jax gets to 2 for 2.

Didn't read it but would there be any allowance for missions and military service.??

Yes to both.
