There is a guy who is a place kicker at a small school (D3 I think) that is a Vietnam Vet and I think is a bit over 60.

Chris weinke won heisman at about that age. I don't see it as an advantage really.

Still Kicking: Alan Moore - ESPN Video - ESPN

ESPN Video: Nothing would kill the dreamer in Alan Moore. Not surviving the Vietnam War, not the physical deterioration that comes with age, not losing his construction job two years ago. Through it all, he continued to dream that one day he would again be kicking field goals at college, as he did in 1968 at Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, Miss.. Now 61, Moore is again kicking, this time for the Faulkner University Eagles in Montgomery, Ala., where he is living the dorm life with students one-third his age, and where last month he became the oldest person to score a point in a college football game. E:60s Lisa Salters chronicles Moores incredible journey that is a testament to never giving up on your dreams.

I personally think that 25 should be the cut off, but even if they let older people play, I have more of a problem with a guy being allowed to go pro in one sport, get paid potentially very large sums of money based solely on his athletic ability, then come back and be considered an amateur athlete.
