The clock starts at age 19 or when they enroll full-time, whichever comes first, meaning some recruits won’t even see their eligibility window open for years. This change is strictly for extenuating circumstances like pregnancy, military service, or religious missions — no more asking for extra time just because you want it. Meanwhile, players from the G League or international circuits face a hard cap at age 24, adding complexity for older prospects. This overhaul reshapes roster planning, extends careers for some, and could dramatically alter the college sports landscape.
