  • KenZ Said:
summer vacation will conclude with a Bucknell team trip to Europe in August. first time they will do the trip at the end of summer which makes incoming freshman eligible if they attended summer school (B137 correct or clarify rules as necessary).





That was the rule about incoming freshmen prior to this year due to a special clause that applied only to basketball:

"17.29.1.4.1.1 Exception—Basketball. In basketball, it is permissible for an incoming student athlete (freshman or transfer) to represent the institution on a foreign tour that occurs during the summer prior to his or her initial full-time enrollment at the certifying institution and participate in practice prior to departure for the foreign tour provided the following conditions are met: (Adopted: 4/29/10 effective 8/1/10) (a) He or she has earned at least three hours of acceptable degree credit (toward any of the institution’s degree programs) during the summer term at the certifying institution;"


However I see that the 2017-18 bylaws have removed that clause, which presumably means that incoming freshmen can now participate as long as they are eligible to play in the fall semester. Here is the full rule that is in the new bylaws:

". It is permissible for an incoming student-athlete (freshman or transfer) to represent the institution on a foreign tour that occurs during the summer prior to his or her initial full-time enrollment at the certifying institution and participate in practice conducted in preparation for the foreign tour, provided he or she is eligible to represent the institution in intercollegiate competition during the academic year immediately following the tour."
