admin If someone attends a division 1 college and doesn’t play any sports for the entire time they are there as an undergrad. Can they decide to go to graduate school somewhere else and tryout for the baseball team? Also how many years of eligibility would you have to play as a graduate student if you didn’t play at all as an undergrad? What are the NCAA rules here?
Graduate students are eligible to participate in NCAA sports, at least if they started playing as an undergrad. Not sure about starting as a grad student.
In Division I, there is a 24 year-old age limit, so your eligibility would expire the year you turn 25.. In the other divisions, there is no limit, so you could have up to four years of eligibility as long as the course requirements were met.
You would need to register with the NCAA Eligibility clearinghouse. Here’s the website.
