ypically, a student-athlete has four years of eligibility in a given sport some student-athletes opt to not compete with the team for their first year attending a university, but to only attend classes and practices with the team; this process is known as redshirting.The student-athlete will not use one of his or her four years of eligibility in that season. Using this mechanism, a student-athlete has up to five academic years to use the four years of eligibility. However, each student-athlete has at most four years of actual competition with the varsity team.
