NCAA tweaks Division I eligibility model, vote pushed to late June

The committee refined the age‑based eligibility framework, easing several restrictions to help younger athletes transition to the college game. The revisions aim to balance talent development with competitive fairness.

Some member schools voiced concerns that the changes could shift the playing field. Consequently, the vote was delayed until late June, allowing further deliberation.

The NCAA affirmed that all stakeholder feedback will shape the final decision.
