No. Chris Weinke and Brandon Weeden were starting fb qbs in their late 20s. There are other examples.

JR Smith (former NBA All-Star) now plays golf for NC AT&T at 36.

There were some arguments years ago about BYU and the potential advantage that the football players could have over opposing college students, as if they went on a mission, they could be 1-2 years older than a typical student.

I originally wrote that, but took it out as the poster might not realize who Smith is.

Except in many cases, it was a major disadvantage. Many of them spent two years overseas, never playing and rarely working out. Lineman came back 75 pounds lighter etc.

He is Lebron's least favorite teammate.

Why would you go from Stanford to ND? Talk about a step down.

Lilly Thompson sat out a year at Stanford, transferred to ND, and won a championship with Arike, middle Mabrey, Turner, et. al. Marta Sniezek, and someone else did the same transfer (recently) also.

Because Stanford doesn't allow grads a 5th year. They MUST transfer.

Then explain Anna Wilson, who just finished her 6th year at the school???
