What if you are Ryan Coleman-Williams and stay 17 the rest of your life?

No redshirts are a bummer if they’re removing medical redshirts.

Or or or..... how about if ISKCON asks you to travel and promote monotheistic devotion to Lord Krishna ? That must surely be an exception as well !

So do Bama basketball players get a sixth year if they get arrested?

Slightly off-topic since not an NCAA sport.

USA Rugby had to do this sometime around 2010 because of schools bringing in international players (looking at you BYU) and filling the team with 22-26 year old freshmen. They changed the 5 year clock start date to when the player graduated high school.

They've long since relaxed the rules again since college rugby has been through at least 3 complete reorganizations since.

5 years from graduation... finding the fountain of youth doesn't extend your eligibility :p

If you steal from a children's hospital you get an additional year.

I like it. All these year by year waivers and shite are abused to hell. Just have a blanket policy that applies to everyone, no exceptions

Don't think you should make exceptions. The Israelis have to serve in military for 3 years first. Would be one lawsuit exception after another

Would an LSU football player get a sixth year after he kills a veteran? That is, assuming he doesn't commit suicide first.

I’d amend it to say starting when you attend your first day of being a full-time student as everyone’s start may vary as mentioned with a maximum of 5 years, but then have a maximum age of 26.

Nope. Too old. That allows all of the pros to come over at 23-24
