Statement from the DI Board of Directors about age-based eligibility rules:
“We are encouraged by the Division I membership's broad support of the age-based eligibility rules. The design of the new rules, including its implementation strategy, was thoughtful and well informed, and was unanimously supported by the Cabinet, including its student-athlete members.

We look forward to ensuring that the age-based eligibility rules are enforced consistently so that all institutions play by the same rules, like all participants in sports.”
