Tom Sheldon and Juval Mollette left the program. So if Jordan Riley returns this summer, we'd need two other people to leave (or the two snappers that walked on originally) would need to relinquish their scholarship.
 
Well that sucks about Riley. I wonder if Sheldon is just ready for a new phase of life since he's upper twenties. I'm curious about mollette's reason too.
 
Sheldon shouldn't be eligible either way. Never should have been.

If a 25 year old American isn't eligible why in the hell would a 25 year old Aussie be eligible?
 
Is there an age rule?

For all intents and purposes yes. You only get five years after you've graduated from high school.

Only exceptions are military (acceptable) and religious missions (completely ridiculous).

Frankly I think anyone who still has amateur status should be eligible if they're a full time student at the university.
 
It's because he sucks/sucked. Colossal bust.

Also, you're wrong with your numbers (again). There's a scholarship spot for Powell.
You mean sucks as a WR, he's probably a fantastic person in other ways ;)

I said "if Jordan Riley returns this summer, we'd need two other people to leave", cuz right now, by my count we're one over the limit (since Powell is back).

How am i off, are we over or under?

As long as you havent enrolled in a 4 yr university after high school you retain your eligibility (ie someone who goes into the military out of hs still has 4 yrs of eligibility). Doesnr matter if u are American or from another country

Nope. The military and religious missions are exemptions. But other than that you only get five years starting the summer after you graduate high school. It's bullshit.
