"JUCO is for academic causalities and character concerns." The roster limits at the FBS-level changed everything. D1 caliber players with great grades will need to go the JUCO route to develop and eventually land at their level. FBS/FCS teams don't want to sign freshmen that won't make their 2-deep in the next 2 years. They don't want to waste resources on freshman who will red shirt and hit the transfer portal after 1 year. The amount of 3.5 GPA and 1200 SAT kids going to elite JUCOs would shock you. The parents and players that are unaware of this new trend still have a stigma about JUCO opportunities. They think JUCO players are dumb and the "degree you get isn't good." I'm a firm believer no one in this world cares about where you complete your general studies and undergraduate degree. Moving forward, for the majority of athletes, JUCO is the most realistic route to the FBS/FCS. It also keeps your first 2 years of college far more affordable than NAIA/D3/D2 and even the FCS at times. Those same players and parents (that still have a negative stigma of JUCO) will be the first to chase a PWO opportunity and they don't realize that the young man will not be getting developmental reps, and zero game film...When you get tired of paying for school and hit the transfer portal...you'll have no film and your football career essentially ends. Go to JUCO, get the film, and land at your level. Even if your level is NAIA, D3, D2, FCS...you'll save a significant amount of money and still get the college football experience. - RicoKnows

Teammates who trust, love, and respect each other will strive to make each other better. They will remind each other of the standards. This will lead to a strong and healthy culture. ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ ๐“๐ž๐š๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐‡๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ ๐“๐ž๐š๐ฆ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ!

NCAA moving closer to five-year eligibility, clock starts at HS graduation or 19 years old, eliminating redshirts and waivers. Five years to play up to five seasons. Release notes this would NOT be retroactive, meaning current seniors wouldnโ€™t get an extra year.
DI Board of Directors directs Cabinet to advance age-based eligibility rules. ncaa.org/news/2026/4/27/mediโ€ฆ
