That they have cheerleaders in their late 20s on the coed squad that have cheered for other schools such as UK and Morehead. Your thoughts?

I just feel like this has been discussed to death. Yes, they do-just like many other top collegiate programs. Some programs (Kentucky included) limit the number of eligible years, or limit to only undergrad students. All of this doesn't matter anymore, because Varsity has implemented a rule for next year that cheerleaders can only compete for 5 years at Varsity college events.
I wonder how many teams will get around this by having kids on their Game Day squads for several years before "Making the Mat"-so they have the opportunity to gain experience.

i understand the limiting years of eligibility, but I almost wish it was 6 years. that gives wiggle room for 4 years of undergrad and 2 years of grad school. With 5 years, I feel as if you're almost being punished for being talented enough to make mat all 4 years of undergrad, limiting your grad school to one year of eligibility. I do agree with the rule though. I find it hard to respect people who have been cheering for 10 years and counting
NCAA gives you 5, kind of. Hardship, redshirt, injury, transfer are usually why that ends up happening to mostI think it should be 4 years to match NCAA. That makes a bit more sense to me, personally.

ps, this has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, but it made me giggle.
we have a candle ceremony we do during hell month and at nationals, and there's a prayer thingy we say to go with it. we never get taught the prayer, we are just suppose to catch on. well no one on the team does, except for one line: "radiant and resplendent". and I just realized what the phrase under your name said, and it makes me think of candle.... and the fact that I had to look up what resplendent meant once I realized what we were saying
I took it from the game Diablo III. The best treasure chests you open are resplendent.
I would like to know who has the time to practice let along compete while in graduate school fulltime?
I see your point. I'm not familiar with all of the NCAA rules and didn't realize they only have 4 years. I feel like players find a way around this rule often, either that or they have quite the crew of "groupies"
I think making it a point to try and follow NCAA rules will also be a good step in the direction of becoming an NCAA sport, even though many people would not like to see that happen.
