The PL bylaws specifically say that graduate students may play. Many PL athletes have been graduate students, including basketball students. For example, in the past eight years, Bucknell has had two players (Tyree and Fitzpatrick) enrolled only in grad school while playing.
Eligibility for grad students is mentioned in at least three places in the PL bylaws. Here is one:
“An extension of eligibility may be granted by a League institution for a student that completes the first baccalaureate in less than eight semesters of full-time study and continues full-time enrollment in a second baccalaureate or graduate degree program at the original certifying Patriot League institution.”
