matcar;1126551; said:I'm confused, Gene REDSHIRTED last year??? Seemed like he played too much for that. Can someone explain?
sandgk;1126554; said:NCAA participation report indicates took part in first 4 games, none thereafter.
That is within the rules to qualify for medical redshirt.
I'll give you being crazy - :tongue2:MUBuck;1126565; said:I might be crazy, but I thought the new rule was that you can only apply for a medical redshirt after you've exhausted eligibility. So in this case, Gene would apply for a medical redshirt last year after his senior year (if he chose to stay). I thought this rule was why Mauk didn't know if he could return to Cincy until after his senior year. Couldn't find any info on ncaa.org, anybody know the rule?
Complete No More than 30% of completed or scheduled contests (13 such contests with Bowl Game included) - all of which happens in first half of the season.(c) The injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three contests or dates of competition (whichever is applicable to that sport) or 30 percent (whichever number is greater) of the institution's scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in his or her sport. Only scheduled or completed competition (including exempted events but excluding scrimmages and exhibition contests identified as such in the legislation) against outside participants during the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship, or, if so designated, during the official NCAA championship playing season in that sport (e.g., spring baseball, fall soccer), shall be countable under this limitation in calculating both the number of contests or dates of competition in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition during that season in the sport. (Revised: 1/10/92, 1/14/97 effective 8/1/97, 4/26/01 effective 8/1/01, 3/10/04, 5/11/05, 8/4/05, 4/26/07 applicable to student-athletes who initially enrolled full time in a collegiate institution on or after 8/1/03)

Thus 30% is 3.9 - rounds up to 4. Which is exactly the number of games in which Clifford participated before getting his injury.
MililaniBuckeye;1126593; said:I think MUBuck's point is that it's not that he won't qualify for the medical redshirt down the road but rather that he cannot yet apply for it until all other eligibility is exhausted. That's the way the rules were before, so unless those have changed Eugene cannot yet apply for that medical redshirt.
Yup... this wouldn't be the first time it seems as though it's assumed. I'm guessing they either make some informal inquiries or are familiar enough with the process to know when it's a certainty.MUBuck;1126597; said:That's exactly what I was saying. If that's true, then Gene would be a sophomore with the option of attaining a medical redshirt later on.
thackattack;1126608; said:Maybe I'm misunderstanding the arguments here, but it would seem to me that Eugene does NOT need to wait and apply for a medical redshirt if he meets the requirements of a general redshirt, that being not playing in more than 30% of his team's games. If he already has the regular redshirt based on games played in, why wait and apply for the medical variety? He shouldn't need to.
