That does require a bit of prior planning though. If by some accident you have fulfilled the requirements to graduate, are you allowed to not do so?
Interesting question. Since graduation requires an affirmative action by the student (that is, the student/athlete needs to file for graduation) I wonder whether someone who has fulfilled all the requirements but hasn't filed for graduation would actually graduate? You could envision a scenario where someone wants to take a couple extra classes that don't lead to a degree.

You can fulfill all requirements for graduation and not graduate. I did this in my sport. You need to apply to graduate. I came back for my last year with eligibility despite having finished all undergrad requirements. I did end up coterming but I never got my undergrad degree until the end of my last year despite having qualified for it a year earlier. I played a non-NCAA sport where graduates couldn't compete which was my motivation for not taking a degree earlier.
