Frequently-Asked Questions on Redshirts, Age Limits and Graduate Participation

1.What is a redshirt?

Redshirt Definition

The term "redshirt" is used to describe a student-athlete who does not
participate in competition in a sport for an entire academic year. If you do
not compete in a sport the entire academic year, you have not used a season
of competition. For example, if you are a qualifier, and you attend a
four-year college your freshman year, and you practice but do not compete
against outside competition, you would still have the next four years to play
four seasons of competition.

Each student is allowed no more than four seasons of competition per sport.
If you were not a qualifier, you may have fewer seasons of competition
available to you. You should know that NCAA rules indicate that any
competition, regardless of time, during a season counts as one of your
seasons of competition in that sport. It does not matter how long you were
involved in a particular competition (for example, one play in a football
game, one point in a volleyball match); you will be charged with one season
of competition.

Please contact the certifying institution or conference for additional
information. You also may contact the NCAA membership services staff at
317/917-6222 if you have further questions.













2.Is there an age limit for participating in college sports?

21 Year Age Rule for Division I

In Division I only, if a student-athlete has participated as an individual or
as a team representative in organized sports competition, that kind of
participation during each 12-month period after his/her 21st birthday and
prior to initial full-time collegiate enrollment will count as one year of
varsity competition in that sport. Any participation in organized competition
during time spent in the U.S. armed services will be excepted.

You may wish to consult with the student-athlete's current college's
athletics director to determine exactly how many seasons of varsity
competition he/she may have used. Please contact the NCAA membership services
staff at 317/917-6222 should you have further questions.







3.Can I participate if I'm enrolled in a graduate or professional school?

Graduate Student Eligibility

A student-athlete who is enrolled in a graduate or professional school of the
college or university which he/she previously attended as an undergraduate
student may participate in intercollegiate athletics, provided he/she has
eligibility remaining and is within five calendar years of initial full-time
collegiate enrollment for Division I and within the first ten full-time
semesters of collegiate enrollment for Divisions II and III.

A student-athlete who has eligibility remaining and is within the specified
five-year or ten-semester period also may participate while enrolled in a
graduate or professional school at a Division I or II college or university
other than the institution at which he/she completed an undergraduate degree,
provided he/she meets the criteria of the one-time transfer exception to the
general transfer residence requirement. That exception is as follows:

The student-athlete must be seeking to participate in a sport other than
Division I football, basketball and men's ice hockey, except that a
student-athlete who seeks to participate in Division I-AA football may use
this exception only if transferring from a Division I-A program.
The student-athlete may not have transferred previously from another
four-year institution unless he/she transferred previously and received an
exception to the transfer residence requirement because his/her institution
either discontinued the sport or did not sponsor the sport in which the
student-athlete is a participant.

The student must have been in good academic standing and eligible to compete
had he/she decided to remain at the previous institution.
The student-athlete's previous institution must certify in writing that it
has no objection to the student-athlete being granted an exception to the
transfer residence requirement.

NOTE: This exception does not apply to a student-athlete who attends a
Division III institution for graduate school, unless the student-athlete is
attending the same institution at which he/she was an undergraduate.

NOTE: If the student-athlete transfers to the certifying institution from a
Division III member institution and meets the above-mentioned conditions, he
or she may be eligible to compete but may not receive athletically related
financial aid during that year.

Please contact the certifying institution or conference for additional
information. You also may contact the NCAA membership services staff at
317/917-6222 if you have further questions.

希望我倆是220 和284，因為
220 除了本身以外的因數們：1 2 4 5 10 11 20 22 44 55 110 加起來等於284
284 除了本身以外的因數們：1 2 4 71 142 加起來等於220
換句話說
這兩個數，都用全部的生命去成全對方 -----摘自 《費馬最後定理》-----
