MushroomKing Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Does NCWA (club wrestling) count towards eligibility years? ryan Deihl wrestled 2 years in NCWA, including the post season (2x champ) then he wrestled 4 years at Maryland. So he had a total of 6 years of competition. Is that allowed ? Could he have done 4 years NCWA then wreslted 4 years of ncaa? does NCWA just not matter?

He still could have gotten the 6 years with a redshirt and a COVID year. 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone wrestle 4 years NCWA, go ncaa, take a red shirt , covid year , gray shirt , injury year and then compete 4 years NCAA have wrestled a combined 12 years in college?

DJT Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The Division I five-year clock starts when you step on any college campus (after HS graduation), and one can compete in NCAA competition four of the next five calendar years (I.e. If you start school and quit, your clock keeps running). COVID added a year to the clock and competition years. You could not wrestle four years of NWCA then four years of NCAA without compromising the space-time continuum, and that would be bad for everyone, I imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) One of his 6 years was a redshirt. He was finished in 2019 before COVID so that does not factor in. It does show 5 years of wrestling though. The only thing I can think of is that maybe he got a medical year it's not showing. Liberty is a D1 school, but wrestling was downgraded to club status in 2011 or 2012. So I am not sure if there are stipulations with the school being D1 but the program being club NWCA. Also, I am not sure if 2015 rules were different than today. https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/40240/diehl-ryan/profile Edited June 17, 2023 by Idaho Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpeltf Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 He might not have been fully matriculated at Liberty. An article I read did mention grades as to why he didn't go immediately to Maryland. Plus the current rule of allowing someone a year after HS graduation before enrolling full time before it counts against eligibility might have been enacted for after his first year at Liberty. I think it went into effect in the 14-15 school year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MushroomKing Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 So if I wrestled 3 years NCWA waited 10 years and went back to college and walked on a NCAA program would I be able to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly D3. Not D1… don’t think D2 either… unless you’ve been overseas on military deployment the whole time. I believe there’s a deferment for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
