The NCAA is moving forward with a major eligibility change. The governing body’s Division I cabinet unanimously approved a five-year, age-based eligibility model on Tuesday afternoon, months after calls for the new rule first began in April. Under the new model, college athletes will receive five years of eligibility beginning either in the year they enroll or the year they turn 19.
