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.
