Gabe Arnold Juco Loophole

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Has it been confirmed that Gabe Arnold's plan to stop his eligibility clock without a redshirt by enrolling in a junior college will work?

If so, this is a revolutionary idea that should be used by all the top programs.  Gotta give credit for ingenuity.

But weren't the Cornell guys starting at Juco?  Arnold started at Iowa and is taking a year off at Juco then going back to Iowa.

There is no current loophole.  

Due to the Pavia case, the NCAA granted JUCOs an extra year across the Board to stay consistent with that case.  It should be decided this Fall.

As the parent of a D1 athlete, we had the JUCO discussions with a few schools and they were all in agreement that they were NOT expected any further extra years of eligibility for JUCO athletes.

The rule in question would be the “5 in 4 rule,” that once you enroll, you have 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility (with exceptions for medical and Olympic redshirts).  Other than medical/Olympic redshirts and the 2021 season, has an Ivy/Cornell guy ever unenrolled for more than 1 year after the initial grayshirt year?
