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. :-) Jeffrey Anbinder Cornell University Public Affairs > > >On Thu, 26 Oct 1995, Stephen E Roth wrote: > >> James said.. >> > I believe that a student athlete will lose one year of eligibility if the >> > student is 21 years old at the time they begin their college careers. >> > They will lose 2 years if they are 22, etc. >> >> Nope.
