<p>Hello all</p>
<p>I have found out that the NCAA enforces a 'gap year rule' which states that an athlete's eligibility 'clock begins to tick' as soon as he or she graduates from high school. Essentially athletes only have one year after they graduate to go to college.</p>
<p>I was hoping someone could advise me on my son's situation; he is 17 years old, is a strong basketball player and has recently graduated from high school Australia. He has dreams of playing college basketball but as time goes by we are beginning to realize that his dreams are harder to attain.</p>
<p>From what we have heard in order to negate, the rule enforced by the NCAA whilst allowing him to receive more exposure to colleges and hopefully generate 'interest'. --- We could enroll him in a high school as a senior to graduate in 2015 May and then send him to a post-graduate institution where he would gain even more exposure.</p>
<p>Could anyone advise me as to whether doing this would break any NCAA rules?</p>
<p>Note; we know someone in the US who is currently doing this but we do not know whether he is still eligible to play college basketball!</p>
