better informed now pre officer?
He is definitely making stuff up. If you enter a DI institution at age 23, you have 1, that is one year of eligibility left in the sport of Track and Field and Cross Country no matter what you've already done any where else. The above poster was right when he said you have to be a full time student to run DI, which is 12 hours, at least until you graduate. We had a kenyan on our team who started at age 21 and were well reminded that he only had 3 years of eligibility left because he was already 21. I'm also heavily involved with NCAA compliance issues. But thanks for giving me something to check on a week later somerandomdude.
