Bylaw 14.2.3.5 Participation After 21st Birthday. Division I football
Effective: August 1, 2010

In sports other than tennis and swimming and diving, any participation as an individual or a team representative in organized sports competition by a student during each 12-month period after the student's 21st birthday and prior to initial full-time enrollment in a collegiate institution shall count as one year of varsity competition in that sport. Participation in organized competition during time spent in the U.S. armed services shall be excepted. (Note: In swimming and diving, Bylaw 14.2.3.5 applies to a student-athlete who is not subject to Bylaw 14.2.3.2. If a student-athlete triggers both Bylaws 14.2.3.2 and 14.2.3.5, only Bylaw 14.2.3.2 applies.) (Revised: 1/10/90, 1/16/93, 1/10/95 effective 8/1/95, 1/9/96 effective 8/1/96, 6/10/04)

Note that this rule is only for Division I. Also each situation is unique and handled on case by case basis. Any questions please call NCAA warehouse at 317-917-6008. I hope this answers some of the questions concerning this matter.
