Now THAT is a question that I don't think has ever been asked here! I have no idea, but I don't see why students wouldn't be eligible.

I think that all schools are eligible to have the NAACP come to their school. I think its racist, ashully, to no alow studentists to partitipation in the NAACP while in dental school.

exactly

I believe that the answer is yes. My friend is the President of our schools curling club/team. They played I believe the Medical College of Wisconsin. So Med students are, I am sure that Dental students are too. ??

As long as you didn't use your 4 years of eligibility during undergrad/dental school, yes. However I do believe the NCAA has a maximum age to be eligible. If you seriously had the chance to be on an ncaa roster you would have to go through the NCAA Clearinghouse.

I was an NCAA athlete in undergrad and a teammate of mine finished undergrad in 3 years and then did a year of MBA so yes it's possible.

I too was a NCAA athlete in undergrad and you can definitely play (even on scholarship) in grad/prof school. Obviously you have only 4 years of eligiblity (4 playing years can redshirt 1 year). A friend had one year left of eligibilty and was a first yr law student.

It seems to me that you would have to go to Dental School at the same place you were an undergrad and finish undergrad in 3 years (4 if you redshirted) to still be eligible.

None of the dental schools in Texas are directly conected to specific undergraduate schools so I don't think it would be possible to be a dental student and a varsity NCAA athlete at the same time in my state.

Absolutely correct----undergrad and grad must be at same university.

I don't think this is correct. At least in my sport (cross country/track and field), I've known multiple people who have run for one undergrad and a different grad school. Two things: 1) You only get 4 years, so these people didn't participate a full 4 years during undergrad (redshirt, disinterest, etc) 2) Once you start using your eligibility, you have 5 years to use it all. This can change if you get a medical redshirt approved by some board at the NCAA.

I've known of a 4:07-4:10 miler who graduated undergrad with one year left. He went to law school across the country, and almost broke 4:00...I guess those lawyers don't need to study much

Not only can you be perfectly eligible during grad/professional school (rules apply), it doesnt matter if you change schools. NCAA athletes transfer all the time. However, there are certain rules on transferring (i.e: sitting out a year if you transfer withing the same conference). But transferring isnt an issue if you didnt play NCAA sports at your undergrad school.

In terms of age, consider Florida State Heisman trophy winner Chris Weinke. He graduated high school, played 3 or 4 years of minor league baseball, decided he was done with baseball, entered FSU and played quarterback at age 26. He was bald, but FSU fans didnt care.

I've always heard that you have 5 years to play 4 once you start college.

I've also heard that you have to sit out 1 year if you transfer.

Those two rules don't give a lot of time for you to be an athlete, graduate, tranfer and sit out a year, all in five years. I guess it is possible if you graduate in 3 years, sit out the 4th year when you tranfer to dental/med school and then play your fifth year.
