Blue & Gold Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Okay, so where's Ryan Brinson mentioned? I checked GoZips.com and didn't find anything on him. I hear he is enrolled at UA. Is he on the team? Is he on scholarship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically there is no such thing as Prop 48 anymore. He can come to Akron and if he can't play this year, but gets his grades up for 2008 he will have 4 years to play 4.

So if you are a non-qualifier and you sit out your first two semesters, you are guaranteed 4 years of eligibility? I though you needed to be 80% of your way towards a degree by your 4th year to be guaranteed a 5th year (4 "playing years")? When did that change?

I think it changed at the NCAA's summer meeting last year. As long as you get eligible and stay eligible after sitting out that first year, you get 4 years to play 4 now.

Zip Watcher Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Is that true for all sports? Does a hoops prop player (Conyers) get 4 years on court if he just stays elligible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Is that true for all sports? Does a hoops prop player (Conyers) get 4 years on court if he just stays elligible? I was wondering the same thing. I spoke to a U of A coach...not a hoops coach...regarding Conyers only a week or so ago. He stated the 80% rule was still in effect for all athletes. I'll have to check up on it. Maybe, if Conyers was admitted prior to the rule change, it wouldn't apply to him? Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you know some of the recruiting guru's around the MAC like Nick at Miami University and Mark at UT, but they can probably provide you some more insight on the rule change as they follow the rule changes a bit more closely than I do.
