Reply to "D3 Grad School Anyone?"

My son played two years as a grad student with baseball scholarship money at the D1 he transferred to after his first school didn't work out. He needed and got a waiver of the five year clock from the NCAA, and the school gave him his scholarship money for his "double redshirt" senior year before the waiver came through. 

Year 1: True freshman year at SEC school, where he had knee surgery, played little, and got cut at the end of season.

Year 2: Transferred to another D1, sat out a year while on scholarship.

Year 3: Redshirt sophomore year. 

Year 4: Redshirt junior year. Injured at end of season. 

Year 5: Graduated in December. Started master's program in January. On roster, but didn't play because of surgery rehab.

Year 6: Double redshirt senior year. School won conference. Ended career at a regional. Got masters and a job. Married shortstop from the softball team.

It's a pretty good six-year plan if you can pull it off.
