I would like to know who has the time to practice let along compete while in graduate school fulltime?

i do and did great with it while being a TA and research assistant, grad school, cheering games, and competing..not that hard

Last year was my 1st year going to NCA College nationals. At the time I was 30 and there were people in uniform that were every bit as old as I was. Most from very elite programs.
I'm sure everyone already knew that there were old timers that cheered. I think it's crazy, but the structure of cheerleading is you take the best of the best, period. It's one of the benefits of NOT being an NCAA sanctioned sport. I don't blame any program for using the talent that walks through the door.

I honestly had no idea that there were people on college squads that weren't full-time college students. My oldest is only a sophomore in high school so I haven't started any research yet. She wants to cheer in college so this is important information to have.

Plenty of people take 1 or 2 classes just to cheer. Can't say I think it's right, but it's the truth.
