Can I still play NCAA Basketball? Desperately need help!?

I played D3 football for 2 years. My 3rd year I was injured early in the season with a broken leg. The following year I didn't play due to problems with the leg still and graduated that year. I still saw the doctors with further complications coming from the injury. I did not attend school the year after graduating. I just now had a plate removed from my leg so am still recovering. This fall I do not plan on returning to school. However next year I plan on returning for a MBA and would LOVE to play basketball. I know there's a 5 year deal with ncaa where you can not play even if you haven't used up your years of eligibility. So what I'm wondering is would it at all be possible to declare medical redshirt for the last 3 years and then return and play basketball next year? Division 1, 2 or 3. I know I have the abilities to play just unsure if they'll allow me too. Should've played basketball my first go around. Can I get another chance????? Please help! Thank you.
