NCAA probes UNE

Re: NCAA probes UNE

I don't know the timeline. I'm suggesting that that is the only way anybody could have lost a year of eligibility, unless the player making the claim doesn't know what the rules are, but threatening to sue for a lost year of eligibility would only fit if that were the case. I'm thinking that the player doesn't know what the eligibility rules are. Otherwise, it sounded like everything did get taken care of on time.

He could have lost a year of eligibility by being a full-time student for 2 semesters at another school before entering UNE . .

I'm not sure who the student is threatening to sue is, but Kody Collins lost a season "de facto", unless he is planning in a 5 or more year plan.

de facto, but not de jure. There are plenty of instances of players not playing for a season and completing 4 years of eligibility within 5 years of enrollment. They can do this as long as they don't practice with the team beyond the first "competition opportunity" of the season. It is the closest DIII comes to being able to "red shirt." Since graduate students can play, it doesn't even have to be a 5 year plan.

True on the graduate students playing, hense the "unless he is planning in a 5 or more year plan."

Re: NCAA probes UNE

The NCAA's D3 rule is that eligibility is lost after 10 semesters of full-time student status. There may be gaps between semesters and years. In the Kody Collins case, it's possible that he had been a full-time student before he entered UNE and had already used up two semesters of eligibility. He would also lose this year due to being a full-time UNE student, leaving him six semesters of three years of eligibility. The only other circumstance in which he would lose eligibility is, as Prof has pointed out, he practiced with the team after official competition began this past season.

Judging from his Junior career, it doesn't look like he would have been enrolled as a full time student before he entered UNE. I think we are missing something here. Junior programs are pretty careful to make sure that they don't do anything that could cost their charges potential eligibility. I just find that an odd consequence of this mess.

This is also true, I didn't mean to imply by "unless he is planning in a 5 or more year plan", that he could exceed the 10 semesters of "full-time student status", but it was, as NUProf noted, reasonable to think he might consider grad school.
