I always thought it was "I will live in your head and torment you until that tiny fragment of sanity you possess is dust."

No it doesn't, Grey shirts and Mormon mission. It's does count for nfl and mlb draft , 3 years and you can be drafted.
Yes. It does. The clock automatically starts 1 year after graduation. If you do not enroll in the first September after graduation, that’s fine. The clock does not start then, but it will the next September.

You CAN, however, pause the clock for situations you mention…though not grayshirt. Greyshirt is the mechanism that is not enrolling in the first year. It’s not even an official thing. Just not enrolled in year one.

Pauses are for Mormon missions, Olympics, pregnancy, military service. But the clock does automatically starts in the second September after graduation.

I would still be very surprised if this happened, FWIW.

By this measure wouldn’t all of these overage college punters from Australia be ineligible completely?

2 years mandatory military service and a 2 year mission along with three pregnancies allow them to start college football at 25 years old according to my math

This is in that same thread. For anyone in the know, are his statements accurate?


McScoreley

I am fully confident the new administration will get this one day. Ono is doing his part as well. However, no matter what happens with Ono, NOTHING will compare to Evan Wick.

1. At the time Evan Wick was denied, we were significant underdogs on paper to Iowa. Wick was likely a champ at PSU (Top 3 lock) at a weight we didn't have a qualifier for. Brantt said the exact words Cael used at the time was "It cost us a national championship" and he was right in all likelihood if Iowa didn't suffer some injuries, we 100% needed Wick's points.

2. Evan Wick was a very good student transferring from a Big Ten school (Wisconsin) .... he managed to get into a more selective school admissions wise in Cal Poly. They had MONTHS to work on this with Wick. The reason everyone is skeptical about Ono is yes transferring a student from Japan to the US that already has senior level experience sounds wild. There should have been 0 issues getting Evan Wick into school.

3. This was at a time when Cael felt completely unsupported despite what he's done for the school. While a lot of it was a result of COVID losses (which I'm sure Cael understands better than anyone football comes first), whatever the reasoning it was, Cael didn't absolve Sandy. There were issues in 2017 when he was signing an extension. Bottom line, Cael asked Sandy/Barron for help and nobody lifted a finger to help him.

All of the 3 above basically cumulated in Cael being all set to leave. There were doubts he would even coach the 2021-2022 season. This was followed by NIL issues that almost made RBY portal and 100% cost PSU Nick Suriano. Oklahoma State got word of all of this (word spreads fast in wrestling, people talk) and John Smith himself said he would retire immediately after 2022 and personally recruited Cael to take the job. To say Kraft came in the nick of time is putting it lightly, if Sandy was the AD for even one more year, we lose Cael. I don't care how much people say the Evan Wick story is beating a dead horse, it was the straw that broke the camels back basically.
Sandy was brutal!! We are blessed to have Pat!!!

Amen bro! Pat is a breath of fresh air and we are fortunate!!! Cael never said it publicly that I've heard (but that's his style, and I never knew he might leave - yikes!), but Coach Franklin alludes to this often. Apparently the PSU President is onboard also. Per coach Franklin....the "Alignment is the way it should be" :)

Who the hell hired Barbour?

If someone stopped reading our board because of something Spyker posted, they would have missed out on some very entertaining material. I wish someone could coax Spyker to come back here and start posting on a regular basis.
He still does. After he got run off, he changed his handle to IRONBIRD.

It could have changed, considering all other eligibility changes that have occurred. There were always exceptions to the clock for tennis, skiing, hockey...and a couple other sports. I suspect even those have changed a lot. Probs a dozen pages in the rule book.

But it was the rule. It was how the "Grey Shirt" got started.
 
Also, AJ Ferrari has sophomore eligibility, so maybe hold off on any talk of eligibility clock and it having any real standing

Yeah. He’s still in the 5 year Covid window. And the Olympic shirt. At this rate he will be around for another Olympic shirt…. :-/. Apparently you don’t have to actually enter the Olympic trials but that’s a different story for a different person.

I think the clock starts no later than one year out of high school (thus allowing for grey shirt year) unless you get a religious or military deferment.

Who hired Dear Sandy ….. it was Eric Barron. That explains the whole drift of the era.
