Great Second Chance Story

This player received a great chance to turn his life around and thought others here would be interested.

Second Chances at UWW

Had to give props since the school in question is my brother's alma mater.

I am wondering how he worked out his eligibility with the NCAA, though.

There's no problem with eligibility. D2 and D3 schools don't use the 5 year calendar limitation that D1 schools use. Instead, a player gets 10 full time semesters (and 4 seasons of competition).

If the player goes straight through school, 10 full time semesters is 5 years. But if he goes part time or not at all, he can be eligible while on Social Security, assuming he makes the team.

JPontiac,
That is awesome. Great, great story.
Thank you!
Someday I will have the ability to complete and tell the story of Bob Meccage, a 46 year old volunteer assistant at Trinity.
Until I do this "dream" story of Coach Meccage, those like you provided...I love them.
