" Our strategy for winning against BISON was simple, we put our WRs and RBs in a 1 on 1 situation with their defense in the backfield.....everybody knows they have some freshman who cannot tackle in a 1 on 1 situation.....Joe Glen"
Whats the protocol on someone getting a master's degree and playing sports? I have no idea.
Like, if tom brady wanted to go get his master's degree, could he go back to Michigan for 4 years and win the CFP 4 times? hahaha
Are sports exclusively available to undergrads? Wasn't Brandon Weeden for OkSt like 30 years old when he played or something?
1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
3. It's time to go FBS
My husband and I were discussing this the other day. This was the info I had found on the interwebs...
"There is an age limit for NCAA*Division I*and*II*sports. The NCAA allows a one year grace period after high school graduation for DI and II schools. One year after your high school class graduates is when your eligibility will start to be affected in all sports except for hockey, skiing and tennis. The eligibility clock does not start for hockey players and skiers until after their 21st birthday. Tennis players start losing eligibility 6 months after they graduate high school.
The*NCAA*gives you 5 years to compete in 4 seasons athletically, with the fifth year being a red-shirt year. A red-shirt year gives athletes the opportunity to sit out a year of competition (for reasons such as injury or competition for playing time) and still be allowed to compete in all four years athletically."
You can be in grad school provided you still have eligibility left. Clock doesn't start until you start college though. That's why you see some former minor league baseball players playing football at an older age. Not sure why they don't lose amateur status after playing pro baseball though. Different sport so they retain eligibility in other sports. Think Chris Weinke enrolling at Florida State at the ripe old age of 26 after spending time in the Blue Jays minor league system.
The young in this country do not know enough to be prudent,
and therefore they attempt the impossible - and achieve it generation after generation - Pearl S. Buck
