Will someone please explain how people are continuing to re-class 9th grade and remain NCAA eligible? Are they in effect finished in 11th grade. If repeating 9th grade, the 11th grade first semester is the seventh semester for eligibility (see below). Is 12th grade the equivalent of a PG? year? Do they plan for a redshirt year to make up for not finishing four years after they started 9th grade the first time?

"Ten (10) core courses completed before the seventh semester; seven (7) of the 10 must be in English, math or natural/physical science. These courses/grades are "locked in" at start of the seventh semester (cannot be repeated for grade-point average [GPA] improvement to meet initial-eligibility requirements for competition)."
