MN-Mom,
I seem to remember reading something similar to this here a while back.
What I had gotten from the discussion was that if you have never attended or perhaps it was never played college ball you can go back and play for certain colleges. It would have to be a college that was not governed by the NCAA rules (like a NAIA Colleges) and the years of pro ball would count against you. Such as, if a player has played two years of pro ball then he would only have two years of eligibility left of college ball.
However, I really can’t remember all the details, so maybe one of the experts here will be able to answer this.
If the college you are talking about is under NCAA rules, then I am curious as to how he could play there, also.
