There are rumblings…
That the NCAA is discussing a new model where International players are concerned. Instead of ferreting out eligibility by tracking all the teams, schools, etc that these International players have attended and played previously, the NCAA is looking at determining how many years of eligibility based on the age of the International players. That is the rumor. Of course that opens up other issues because in the U.S. there are athletes that leave on Mormon missions for instance and then return a couple years later. We also have scores of guys who reclassify in high school and then switch schools and sometimes reclassify again. Then go to prep school for a year. NCAA doesn’t seem to care about those instances and the age thing so we shall see if this rumor pans out. There are many college athletes in basketball in the U.S. that arrive as 21 year old freshmen, because of the prep school and reclass years.

Noise that a 7 footer from Germany committed to VT.
