Not a bad start to the season.
Now I know that the mormons get a bit longer with their eligibility, but I think someone made a mistake in his year of eligibility

It is kind of complicated... But Robbie went on a mission for 2 years for our church (i'm sure you have heard of them) But I think thats what you are thinking of. He took 2 years for a mission and then came back. So i dont think that effects his eligibility.
Expect the unexpected. BYU ROCKS!

aren't the rules still 4 years of competition in 5 years?

We talked about this in another thread. Your 5 year clock stops if you go on a mormon mission.

not to be a dick but, that rule is really . religion is a choice, why should you be given extra time. you have to make decisions on what is important to you. why does one school suddenly get extra years. because of their choices.

I assume it applies to any mormon at any school.
Does the NCAA let Christians or any other religion stop their clock if they take time off school to go on a mission trip?

does the trip have to be through the school....how is it regulated if it isn't?

To play devils advocate...would you think it would be in your best interest to take two years off and not touch a pole?
