## Resource

The NCAA just dropped a game-changing rule: Age-Based Eligibility, giving student-athletes who enroll right after turning 19 a general five-year window to compete — a major shift from the old redshirt system. It’s not a rigid five-year clock for everyone, but it offers more flexibility, letting athletes develop academically and athletically without the pressure of a strict four-year timeline. This move reshapes how teams plan and how athletes build their careers — acknowledging real-life paths to college sports.
