I've searched for answers high and low regarding the following question, including dead-end conversations with DI and even junior college coaches.. anyone with legitimate insight, your help would be so greatly appreciated and might help launch my collegiate-athletic dreams: What is my eligibility status to compete in either NCAA or NAIA programs as a graduate student? I will be 27 in the Fall, and I received my BFA from Rhode Island School of Design, a school which offers no athletics whatsoever. Would that fact except me from the 5 year clock of Division I, or is there an age limit to consider there? In that case, what about Division II?
Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this, and thanks in advance to anybody with answers.
