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.

Cornell has been doing it for years...

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?

It was not a complete across-the-board year, it was a fifth year granted to former JUCO athletes who have currently not used up their 5 year clock.  So if they previously redshirted, they were not granted the fifth year.

I don't think anyone is upset at Cornell for utilizing the FLWC.  It's essentially a redshirt, which every other non-Ivy gets.

At least they're not stealing and raping and doing steroids!

I don't think they are either?

Not sure your aim there, big guy.

As you said, Vito and Yianni both took an Olympic "RS" in 2020 by unenrolling (the only way to do it in the Ivy League), and then both unenrolled in the 2021 COVID year.  The latter was an explicit exception:  they changed the "4 in 5" (not "5 in 4!") to "4 in 6" for this one time.  AFAIK, nobody else would have been able to take more than one year.

it was a fairly obvious attempt to crap on PSU in a ham handed fashion.

Feel this was an unnecessary shot at Brown . . . 

But I'm certainly not smart enough for any Ivy League school so take my thoughts w/ a grain of salt

Unless I'm missing something, Gabe's eligibility clock would still be running if he transferred to a JUCO. It might also void his DSA status for roster limits.

One of those was 2021 right?
