So McCall can Redshirt?

how can you guys honestly read the rules that have been posted on this thread from the NCAA handbook and truly believe he will get a 5th year?

by definition the injury has to incapacitate him from playing the rest of the season....will someone have the guts to say that it is incapacitating him from playing? If you really believe it is I think you really do not have a brain or are smoking some real good stuff ;)
 
anthony james from UNI not only had an almost identical situation to mccall, but he actually got his waiver approved only a year later.

Have you observed the NCAA over time? Predicting how they are going to rule on a case is futile.

omg he missed the rest of the season with mono.....

all these cases you keep bringing up the player has missed the rest of the season in every single case. Mcall could have played the final 5 games! taht is almost half of the season!

he may very well be cleared. im just saying that it doesnt matter what they say, it matters what they do.

If the staff has reported full clearance for the injury, it means the injury is no longer an incapacitating injury. And, yes, doctors MUST keep these records when student-athletes are involved. For all intents and purposes, McCall has been granted full participation status, which means he is no longer eligible for a medical hardship waiver in regards to his freshman season.

If McCall re-injures the same ankle this season, then the hardship will likely be granted.

and KF knows this as well. If he didn't we wouldn't be discussing it like we are. We heard whispers that he may see action in Minnesota game. He has stated that he needed to be pushed in Michigan game and that was on him. MSU game??

someone please provide one example of a player who was injured, cleared medically, didnt play again that season, yet was denied the waiver.

I don't know what happened with Lee Gray, he redshirted in 2001 and in 2005 he was injuried and didn't play all year He petitioned for a hardship and was denied. Maybe someone can clarify exactly what happened.
 
He will get a redshirt this year!!! It won't be a medical hardship wavier it will just be a redshirt because he didnt play in 20% of the games and never entered a game after the 6th game....He will be granted a redshirt 100%!!! Unless for some reason KF decides to play him when the season is over now.

McCall burned his RS in the first game. That happen the moment he stepped on the field.

Players, especially in football, may redshirt to learn the team's play book, since college teams typically run a greater number of, and more complex, plays than most high school teams. Common belief notwithstanding, NCAA redshirt rules state that any amount of participation in a competition (even one play in a football game) will trigger the use of a season of eligibility, and therefore that athlete so played may not redshirt that year.[1]

I'll post this again: Dace Richardson most likely would have been granted a sixth year because he played as a true freshman. Lee Gray had already red-shirted his true freshman in year in 2001 for "non-medical reason" and the NCAA almost always considers that freshman season an opportunity to compete that should have been used. There are exceptions to this though such as Jon Beutjer who red-shirted his true freshman year and then sat out a year for transferring but was then granted a 6th year.
