College Football Players Eligibility (wtf????!?!)

[IlliniLou]

alright, i saw 2 things that caught my attention just now.
Kyle Wright of Miami is playing QB for Miami this season, but he graduated in 2006. how can you be able to play a entire year after you graduated?
also, Mundy on West Virg., they said he transfered from Michigan to West Vir. after he graduated. how can you transfer to another school and still play there after you have already graduated?
wtf are these rules that allow this? it doesnt make any sense to me. but gotta hand it to Mundy, he got outta Michigan just in time.

I think you have four years of eligibility. Most of the time players are taking graduate courses if they have already graduated, as far as I know.

The standard rule is that you get five years to play four seasons, so a number of guys end up playing in their fifth year while doing graduate work.

On Mundy, last year they made a rule that said if you graduated in 4 years and still had eligibility left (i.e. you'd redshirted) that you could transfer to another school to play your final year. I think that rule has since been reversed.

I think upperclassmen taking graduate courses is pretty common. Most of these guys go to school year round and pick up a bunch of credits during summer sessions.

Their was an article in the NFL Sports Illustrated preview edition. The article was about some 59 year old name Mike Flint playing LB at SUL Ross State.

Something about him getting kicked out 37 years ago, then comin back to finish his program.
