The D1 clock for a player starts ticking on the first day they enroll in an accredited college and continues even if the player stops going to college. I'm pretty sure that there is no five year clock for DII players although it WOULD affect a DII player who transferred up to a D1. I'm also pretty sure there is some sort of age limitation on D1 eligibility but I don't have any clue on how that works.
NCAA also has what seems like a moving definition of "participation" and "competition." WLU's QB Amedro seemed to play FOREVER after transferring from App State due in part to how the NCAA interpreted "competition"...Other side of the coin WLU WR Walls who "seemed" to have one more season of eligibility but the NCAA ruled that he did not.
Bottom line is that D1 and DII eligibility is different and not as straight forward as we often think it is.
