Summary

The NCAA’s new age-based eligibility model is one of the biggest college athletics rule changes in years, and it could reshape how Penn State football, Penn State wrestling, and every major college program handles roster development. The new “5-in-5” model gives Division I athletes up to five years of eligibility and dramatically changes the old redshirt, medical waiver, and development-year structure.
