NCAA Division II athletes would transition immediately to an age-based eligibility model under proposed emergency legislation.
The proposal would bring Division II in line with the eligibility structure adopted in Division I, marking a significant administrative shift in how athlete participation is determined at the collegiate level.
Eligibility Model Under Review
The proposed change centers on replacing the current framework with an age-based approach. If enacted, the legislation would apply to Division II athletes immediately, rather than being phased in over multiple seasons.
No additional details were provided regarding implementation procedures or specific age thresholds within the proposal.
