In reply to: JoeStag 's message, "MOS Redshirt ???????" on 02:02:57pm 12/05/05 Mon,

I'm not sure how redshirting works, but can you have someone play two games in December, then three games in the conference tourney, and still redshirt them?

They would only have played five games, but they would be spread out. I'm not sure if you could redshirt someone if that were the case. I thought the decision needed to be made relatively early, but as I said, I don't really know how it works.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Medical Hardship Waiver -- JoeStag, 02:52:28pm 12/05/05 Mon, [1]

Stagman,

You inspired me for the pursuit of the facts. Below is the best definition I found, and its called a Medical Hardship Waiver. MOS cannot play more thatn 5 games and they have to be in the first half of the season. We have to have proper medical evidence, and it sounds like something you apply for after the season.

Red Shirting

Red shirting is not an official NCAA term, but the term is used when a student-athlete does not participate in any competition during a particular academic year (i.e., neither in the championship nor the non-championship segment of the playing season). A student-athlete may be red-shirted at any point in his/her athletic career.

A �medical red shirt� is not an official NCAA term either, but the term is used when a student-athlete is injured after participating in a limited amount of competition during a particular academic year and then qualifies for a Medical Hardship Waiver. More detailed information regarding Medical Hardship Waivers is included below.

Medical Hardship Waiver

If a student-athlete suffers a season-ending injury or illness after competing in a limited amount of competition during a particular academic year, he/she may qualify for a medical hardship waiver which would allow him/her an additional season of competition during the five-year period of eligibility. To qualify for a medical hardship:

(a) the student-athlete�s injury or illness must occur in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition or subsequent to the first day of classes in the student-athlete�s senior year in high school;

(b) the injury or illness must occur prior to the completion of the first half of the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship in that sport and must result in incapacity to compete for the remainder of that playing season; and

(c) the injury or illness must occur when the student-athlete has not participated in more than two contests/dates of competition or 20% of the institution�s scheduled contests/dates of competition in his/her sport (whichever number is greater).
