Why 5 years of eligibility when college is 4 years? That would kill the Ivy League if it happened.

I have some bad news for you.

It's a second chance for hockey message board lurkers.  It's such an easy game - time to get that grad degree and a bit of fame. Offense,  defense or defend the goal.   How hard can it be?

The Ivies and other elite schools are outliers in that undergrads tend to be the "traditional" age for college students and mostly graduate in 4 years. Most U.S. undergrads as a whole are older and take longer to graduate, and a large percentage of undergrads are not full-time students. So should NCAA athlete eligibility reflect some vanishing ideal of what an undergrad is or more closely match the reality of undergrad demographics? The Ivy is gonna do what the Ivy is gonna do, but it doesn't reflect the reality of the overall U.S. undergrad body to say that athletes must be 22 or younger and have only four years of eligibility.

Well, yeah, but that's not why they changed the rule to 5.  They changed the rule to 5 so that Southern Dipshit University could redshirt their entire incoming offensive line to get their weight up to 310 before their first live snap against Midwestern Fucknugget* State.

Max age is 26 at graduation, unless Military or Civilian service, then 27.

22.  And no Starship Troopers discounts either.

Well, several of our juniors this year are already 22...so that won't cut it

Aspirational.

The NCAA is also currently facing a U.S. District Court ruling that challenges how the NCAA counts years of eligibility. Previously, the collegiate association would include years in JUCO, or Junior College, against a player's maximum five years of NCAA eligibility. This new antitrust lawsuit would look to reverse that decision

This is the Diego Pavia lawsuit, right? He had a breakout at Vandy and wanted another year of NIL eligibility before he gets taken in the 7th round.

This is the right way to start the 2025-26 season, with a big hit.

Yeah, they're often listed first on ESPN+ under the "college hockey" category, probably because of conservative $$$

[Trotsky]

They have a med school.  That is terrifying.
