Thanks for the response - that is extremely helpful. I think your policy makes perfect sense. Do you ever receive negative feedback from former student-athletes that claim the policy is unfair? I could foresee our former student-athletes complaining (especially the former walk-ons) that they are being prohibited from utilizing university resources that are open to all students when they are paying tuition and fees just like the students that are allowed to participate.

I'm looking for how other institutions deal with varsity student-athletes participating in intramurals. For example, if a varsity soccer player finishes his eligibility in the fall, do you have any policies from preventing him or her from playing intramural soccer in the spring?
