I am watching the UT/OSU game (required, I live in Austin) and I could swear they just said that the starting QB for OSU has already graduated? I thought it was silly that Leinhart was only taking one class last year but how on earth can you have a player who has graduated already???

They can play during grad school if they still have eligibility left.

Don't even think you have to graduate you just have to be working toward a degree. So if i graduted with a business degree in 3 years hell i could start working in my spanish degree and take 101.

Yep. We have a kid out of our church that is playing at the Nazarene College in OK City. He is a Sr and graduating this spring but since he was redshirted, he can go back and play next year for them if he attends grad school there.

There are tons of people with the degree already, but you still get 4 years barring injury as an athlete. Not that uncommon since you can take college classes in high school and graduate like 2 years into college.

Ok. College ball can be weird sometimes.

When you are an athlete, anything is possible.
