Your eligibility starts when you enroll in college, not when you graduate high school. That is not how I read the NCAA D1 and D2 rules last time I looked. Maybe it has changed. The are several experts on here that will know the correct answer... maybe you are correct but I thought the clock started after highschool graduation and either the athlete enroll in college or 12 months have passed. college eligibility starts when you get to college, there's no time table on you have to complete your eligibility right after high school. like hypothetically, a 30 year old man who hasn't received money for playing pro, could enroll into a school like USC and have 4 years of eligibility. |

I assume the rules are the same across the board for all sports? Because are JR Smith as an example- went to the NBA straight out of hs, never went to college. Now he’s playing d1 golf at a school in North Carolina |

I am not a college coach but I think they typically get one year to play beach if they have played 4 straight years of indoor. They can't play 2 years of beach if they have played 4 years indoor. Not a coach so could be wrong. Recently there were covid exceptions so 1 year of indoor didn't count for any that played 2020 women's vb season |

Now he’s playing d1 golf at a school in North Carolina don't know the specific details on this but wasn't there a special review by NCAA to rule and allow this? Definitely not an everyday example |

Definitely not an everyday example I was just sorta using it as an example of a player not going to college right after hs. I don’t know the specifics either, and maybe it isn’t the best example given the nature of the athlete |

All the BYU guys that go on a mission then join the team is probably the best example of the clock not starting till they start actually taking classes. Some of those guys are 21 year old freshman.
Also, Nolan Flexen was listed as a freshman at Masters last year but is a Junior this year for UC Irvine probably because he started classes at one of the previous schools (GCU?)

There are some situations where you can "stop" the clock after enrolling in college. Religious mission, military service, and national team duty are amongst the exceptions that will "stop" (or pause) the eligibility clock. |
