So, club team members can't claim to be college athletes but they lose eligibility in the NCAA.

"college athlete" isn't a defined term by anyone accept the person claiming to be it. The NCAA refers to "NCAA athletes", the NAIA to "NAIA athletes," etc. There was a long SBNation article about the unaccredited College of Faith that basically exists to be fodder for other colleges in football and basketball. Are those kids "college athletes?" I guess.

I think a club player could claim to be a "college athlete" but he is not an "NCAA athlete."

ASU is an NCAA school? So, isn't an ASU club hockey player an NCAA athlete?

Collegiate club sports are any sports offered at a university or college that compete competitively with other universities, or colleges, but are not regulated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association or a similar intercollegiate athletic association.

Club sports are not NCAA sanctioned. So yes, ASU has NCAA athletic programs. The club sports, however are separate organizations that are part of ASU, but not part of the NCAA D-I athletic department.

But an ASU club player loses a year of NCAA eligibility going from club team to D1 the next season? How can that be? When the NCAA is separate from Club sports. Club players must be considered college athletes.

It has nothing to do with playing on the club team, it has to do with attending college.
 
Re: Arizona State Moving To D1

Because I said so.


If you are on the Penn St club hockey team and you go around telling everyone you play hockey for Penn St, but don't specify for the club team, you'd look like a derp. Because it is two completely different levels of athletics.

I don't care how the NCAA views the eligibility you just aren't a college athlete just by being a club team member. If you have to clarify, it doesn't count.
 
Re: Arizona State Moving To D1

Great troll job. Not too subtle, yet still has the possibility of being someone truly inept to make it believable.

I agree they are two different levels. Why isn't a Club player a college athlete?
