BYU has always had a lot of older athletes because of their mission service. I absolutely believe it helps their athletic programs.
Many head coaches want older players on their roster. Not just because of experience, but maturity and more adaptable sometimes than younger players.
Men vs boys.
Literally have 4 men on line of scrimmage every play. They will stand up one of the edges to be able to drop in coverage or rush on a percentage of plays. But always 4 on line of scrimmage.
This is insane. So seasons played at a JUCO don't affect eligibility at all?
What this does is give a huge recruiting advantage to JUCOs over FCS schools and lower, and potentially over G5s. A player thinks he has P2 ability but isn't getting P2 offers? Commit to a JUCO, give yourself 2 years to develop and show what you can do in college ball, then still have just as many years of eligibility to offer as a high school commit would have.
We are going to see more of these 24- and 25-year-old college football players going forward.
Once again, note who is ruining college football....It's not the NCAA, it's the court system and government (okay, along with ESPN).

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the implications this will have on recruiting and then how that will translate for us.
