Division 1 eligibility clocks can be started one of two ways. 1) You enroll full time in college 2) You turn 21 and compete in organized competition in your sport.
From the time that you enroll full time you have 5 years to get in 4 years of competition. From the time you turn 21 you lose a year of eligibility for each year that you participate in organized competition in your sport.
Looking at they BYU website it appears Hillman took his mission prior to being at UVS. Whether or not he was enrolled full time it is pretty clear based on the information that Hillman played club for 4 years after the age of 21. Somebody mentioned something about a loophole that BYU found, and I sure would like to know what that loophole is because the way I read the rule Hillman should never have been eligible to compete at BYU or at the very most would have been a senior elibility wise his first year there.
