NCAA approves the eligibility clock
The NCAA D1 Cabinet unanimously voted to approve the age-based eligibility model.
It's a landmark moment for the NCAA, marking a shift away from the model that allowed athletes four seasons of competition over five years with no age restrictions.
The age-based model calls for an athlete's eligibility clock upon initial full-time enrollment in college or at the beginning of the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs earlier.
The Cabinet's decision is not final until its meeting concludes on Wednesday.
The age-based eligibility implementation will begin this summer. Recruits starting in 2027 are age-based only.
