Personally, I think this would be a terrible policy. The only way I would get on board is if they had a an age cap. For example, if the player turns a certain age before or during the season he can't play. So if you had a player that has never been held back and young for their grade, they would still be eligible. My 2023 is a young player as it is. I couldn't imagine next year a June or July birthday freshman now has to compete with a kid that was already held back early on and is now repeating their senior season.

Move on. If the kid is good enough they will get their shot. Let the kid start college so they can eventually graduate and start their career, which will likely be in something other than sports.
