- Thread starter rtabachk
- Start date
If he doesn't reach the NFL does that mean 9 years of college down the drain?
9 years,

) must really love playing football.I graduated medical when l was 25
He was represented in the proceedings by Ben Mauk.
Not the intent of medical redshirts. Absolutely ridiculous that this guy gets 4 additional years and we have had guys that couldn’t get 1.
There are 25 year olds that have played in, and retired from, the NFL.

Top 5 oldest active college football players of 2023 feat. Bo Nix, Matt Ganyard and more
>At 34, UVA kicker Matt Ganyard is currently the oldest active D1 college football player this season, according to UVAToday. The father of two is currently enrolled in the UVA Darden School of Business, after having earned his degree from the same university way back in 2011.
He tried out for the team during his undergraduate years but was cut in 2009. He then proceeded to serve time in the U.S. Marines as a helicopter pilot. After being discharged, he returned to Virginia to enroll in Darden, and things have picked up from there.
Ganyard has certainly been around, which makes him top this list.<

Carlin busted on this dude during the radio broadcast of the Pinstripe Bowl like:
“A lot of people go to college for 8 years. They call ‘em doctors!!”

just saw this story... O M G.. he may finish in college and be older than some who play their last year in the NFL, aging out of theirvprofessions.
How long until this becomes justified as common practice? How long before the "need" to take classes is done away with and the college game is just a probleague?

Would never be allowed if Dean Wormer made the eligibility ruling!
The one caveat I would make would be if someone served in the military directly out of high school. I think I read about a guy who did that and was playing college football in his late 20's. Other than that, I'm on board with your idea.
There’s should be a rule on players who have as many “season ending injuries” as career TDs. Some of his teammates from his freshman year are about to have Middle School kids
More than one. I can remember one at Colorado and one at Dartmouth.
With NIL I assume we will see more of this...not 9 years...but guys will try to extend as long as possible if they probably think they will not make it in the NFL.
I played with a guy (Bruce Young) at Colorado and he was 28. He went into the military for several years, then to a JUCO where Colorado found him.
