One of the things that amazes me is the stupid questions that are asked on this site. The Coker "redshirt question" is a wonderful example. However, no one has asked about Jewel Hampton.

Well, Jewel has three years of eligibility remaining. He redshirted last year and is eligible for an NCAA "medical hardship." According to NCAA regulations a "medical hardship" can be granted for a season lost completely or almost completely due to injury.

If a player plays in less than thirty percent (30%) of his teams games and the injury occurs in the first half of the season the player is eligible for a medical hardship.

There is no question,if Jewel petitions the NCAA, he will be granted a sixth year.

What is your point? This is BASIC COLLEGE FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE!
 
how old will he be during this '6th year'? 25? There is a reason Fred Russell left when he did, Dallas Clark too - when guys get to be 23+, they are not likely to stay.

I just hope he comes out of this 2nd ACL surgery unscathed. Then if he can play, that will be a bonus. Lewis did it, let's hope Hampton can too.
 
I agree it is BASIC FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE, but the Coker question is a wonderful example of the lack of BASIC FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE by many posters.

Everybody stop responding to this clonebag! He is only trying to detract from our work. By making this statement in a new thread, our responses (however plentiful they may be) do not aid our mission. IT'S A TRAP!!!!!
 
Actually...

Note: "A medical hardship is a form of relief that a university’s student-athlete will receive after a university’s application to the conference only if:
• the student-athlete’s injury or illness was incapacitating;
• the student-athlete’s incapacitating injury or illness occurred during the first half of the season and before competition in more then two contests or 20% of the season’s
scheduled contests (whichever is greater); and
• the injury or illness is supported by contemporaneous medical documentation.
If 20% of a season is a fraction (2.4), the fraction is rounded up to the next whole number. If successful, the effect of the medical hardship is that the student-athlete’s participation does not result in the use of a season of competition; nevertheless, the year that has passed does count against the student-athlete’s five-year clock."


Can Keenum make case for another year? - College Football Nation Blog - ESPN

Note: "REJECTED
Florida RB Dorian Munroe had his appeal denied despite tearing his ACL last year for the second time in his career. The NCAA turned down the appeal because he played in a game in 2009."


So not to burst your bubble way up there on that high horse of yours, but I don't know that it's as open and shut as you make it seem. Hampton participated in more than 20% of the team's games (first game will count towards participation because he wasn't injured, at least that's how I read it; so 3/12 = 25%) so he's going to need luck on his side to get a 6th year. And, given the case of the UF player above, there is precedent for denial.

Yes, there is a reason.

Fred Russell left because he felt his best chance to go pro would be after that season since he was going to be sharing time at RB during the next season.

Dallas Clark left because he had a breakout year and his draft status wasn't going to go up any and he was "older."

There you go. Completely different situation.

Bad post by you.
 
Jewel won't get a medical hardship. History shows that pretty much the only time this is granted is when an injury occurs to the same area in two different seasons. Considering it was different knees, I don't see the NCAA granting this.
 
Again, BASIC FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE. People don't know the rules! The NCAA changed the rule to thirty percent (30%) from twenty percent (20%) several years ago.
 
ColumbusHawk, are we related? lol, I had the same sentiments as stated before. I have to admit i was convinced otherwise in the epic "Coker" thread by many posters. there is a small contingent that does exist which either stirs the pot or lacks college foobtall knowledge. I really thought no one that stupid would waste their time by coming here, but i am proved wrong daily.

And both were 23, and stated such as one of their reasons.
 
Where can I find a book for this basic college football knowledge you speak of?
Or is that a question I should not ask due to it being basic college football knowledge?
 
Following is NCAA Bylaw 14.2.4

14.2.4 Hardship Waiver.
A student-athlete may be granted an additional year of competition by the conference or the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement for reasons of “hardship.â€￾ Hardship is defined as an incapacity resulting from an injury or illness that has occurred under all of the following conditions:

(a) The incapacitating injury or illness occurs in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition at any two-year or four-year collegiate institutions or occurs after the first day of classes in the student-athlete’s senior year in high school;

(b) The injury or illness occurs prior to the first competition of the second half of the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship in that sport (see Bylaw 14.2.4.3.4) and results in incapacity to compete for the remainder of that playing season;

(c) In team sports, 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.

Dates of competition that are exempted (e.g., alumni contests, foreign team in U.S.) from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition shall count toward the number of contests or dates in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in the season, except for scrimmages and exhibition contests that are specifically identified as such in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season regulations. Scrimmages and exhibition contests that are not exempted from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition may be excluded from the calculation only if they are identified as such by in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season regulations; and applicable to student-athletes who initially enrolled full time in a collegiate institution.
