That's not a bif if. This is: IF
Anyway, I would think the Fed. purposely left the term "eligible" a little vague, so they wouldn't have to get into issues such as grades, suspensions from fighting, 20 miles away vs. "in the parking lot", what's considered "in" the lot vs. the driveway, etc., etc, ad nauseum. And in the case of grades, suspensions, and other "eligibility" issues, it's not our jurisdiction. So we don't need to rule if the names in the book are eligible, just whether they can play in the game once they stand on that X.
