Not really, no... note that the rule covers organized competition *prior*
to full-time college enrollment, while you were basing your statement
solely on age. So if I play in the juniors past age 20, every year in the
juniors is one fewer year I can play in college when I finally go. If I'm
understanding correctly, I could start college at age 30 and still have all
my eligibility left, as long as I didn't play in any organized competition
in the previous ten years.
Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I already have a college degree,
and I can't pass worth a damn. :-)
