Is there a maximum age for playing college ball?
I remember reading a newspaper story about a man who started college around age 50 and joined the D1 golf team. He was a retired exec from a major corporation.

You get 5 years after first enrolling at a 4 year school. If you first enroll at 50, you are in. I don't see that old **** carrying his bag more than 4 holes though.
MICD,
I am 48. I enrolled last year at a college - just to play ball.
Here is what happened.
First at bat - I hit a shot into the RCF gap.
As I rounded first - I sprained my ankle.
When I hit the ground - I banged my head and got a concussion.
I also suffered - immediately - from heat exhaustion and lost almost all aerobic capacity.
The second basemen came over to me - tagged me out. Then asked if I was OK.
I wasnt.
I vomited on his new Nike cleats.
They carried me off the field - and gave me a cigarette and a Budweiser after they dumped my limp body into the dugout. That revived me.
Then they told me to go home.
Unless you are related to Julio Franco - old men should just buy peanuts - eat all of them - and cheer for their team.
BTW - None of this - except the last sentence - is true IMO. LOL

At least I made it to third before I tripped and fell and I am going to be 65---LOL
DIII works a little differently...It works based on a semester system...10 semesters to compete during 8 of those semesters...for instance...go to school and play at 18 for two years...leave for 20 yrs...come back at age 40, would still have 2 yrs of eligibility for DIII...where in DI it's a clock from the day you start...5 yrs to compete during 4...
