How many years of eligibility remain?

You have 5 years to play 4. The clock starts the min you register in a post HS college.
Here i am confused. Did he transfer and spend his 1st year at the JC. Then he played in his 2nd year at JC ? If so he has 3 years left at the 4year college.
The 1st year at JC eats up 1 year but not an eligibility. The 2nd year eats up 1 more of the 5 years and also 1 yr of eligibility. He would have 3 yrs left of eligibility and 3 of the 5 years.

5 to play 4 answers it. Thanks

5 to play 4 is the rule for D1 schools. There is also a hardship waiver for incapacitating injury which can extend the 5 years to 6, but I believe the waiver is not easily granted. See the D1 Manual 14.2.4.

D2 and D3 have a different rule: 4 seasons during the first 10 semesters or 15 quarters of full time study. So a player who doesn't pursue school fulltime may have more than 5 years.

...starts the minute you register for 12 units in a post HS college...

IT is also possible to "grey shirt"...using up no NCAA DI eligibility but accumulating units by staying academically under full time...but once you go fulltime...the clock runs...
