Jewel Hampton!

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?

You should go to the Coker thread and contribute what you think is BASIC football knowledge. We are trying to determine that now.
 
Sorry to keep ranting, but Dorian Munroe's appeal was denied because he played the one game in the "second-half" of the season. The denial was a no brainer.
 
Columbus, you obviously read the first page of the coker thread, but how far did you get? for most it is a black hole. it is kind of like this:

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.


Are you trying to be funny or just offering a genuinely absurd comment?

While I agree that his proposed scenario is just a little off, Jewel's getting a 6th year is hardly a lock. If it were only as simple as doing the math, then why do you have to petition in the first place? And if the application is just a formality, then why do so many players' petitions get rejected? There has to be more than just the simple "30% or less, have to miss remainder of the season" clause. Otherwise players wouldn't be getting turned down as often as they do.

This is the key factor to getting the waiver: If the player was deprived of more than one season of participation due “to circumstances beyond his or the institution's controlâ€￾, which is generally defined as having injuries that make a player unable to play during two different seasons.

If a player redshirts his freshman year for non-medical reasons the NCAA will consider that season as a participation opportunity “within his or the institution's control.â€￾ and even if the player meets the obligatory percentage of games played all within the first half of the season they most likely will not get the hardship waiver.
 
Hmm, yep pretty sure it was. But that's OK, that's not basic football knowledge. sheesh.

My bad. hey did you know it is common football knowledge that the clock resumes after a penalty? Someone should tell KF that he really isn't a true football fan.

Oh the classic that is the Capital One Bowl! Drew Tate just said take your basic football knowledge and shove it!

Jon should change the entrance into this incredible site by certifying that each potential poster has BASIC FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE.

And both were 23, and stated such as one of their reasons.

Yes, they were 23 and had NFL aspirations. Completely different situation from JH's.

It's not like they said, "I'm 23 and getting too old for this college football thing," and then went on to real world jobs. They went on to the NFL.

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.

Lighten up Francis. You actually get upset with evidence that not everyone knows as much about college football as you? Why?
