I was looking at the Moss and Curry issues and were they played in a couple of games. Is it possible for them to use a medical redshirt? I looks like they have played in at least 3 games early in the season. Also are there any other players that may qualify?:N:
 








My thoughts went to Rex as well. RR, do you know what too much means in terms of playing time in a college FB season?

College Football/medical red shirt.

Expert: Vic Winnek - 9/24/2007


Question
I could not find the rules and regulations for a medical. red shirt.I am a huge Iowa fan and 2 of their starters we injured and potentially out for the season. They were in the 4th game. Also, if they played in a bowl game, does that count as a 13th game towards the percent rule? Thank you for your time.

A “medical red shirt” is not an official NCAA term, 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.


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).

I checked Wikipedia and it incorrectly stated 30% cutoff.

Assuming we play a 14 game season, 2.8 games rounded up to 3 is the cutoff.

Moss played in 5 games, IIRC.
 
For a student-athlete to receive a Medical Hardship Waiver per Bylaw 14.2.4, the following four conditions must be met:
  • The student-athlete may not have participated in more than two contests or dates of competition or 20 percent of the team's completed contests/dates of competition.
  • The injury or illness must occur prior to the completion of the first half of the season.
  • The injury or illness does not have to occur during practice/competition, but it must be incapacitating.
  • Appropriate medical documentation must exist and be provided.
All percentages are calculated according to contests or dates of competition, depending on how your sport's competitive opportunities are counted. Only contests or dates of competition occurring during the championship (traditional) season are included in the calculations. Conference championships/tournaments are counted as one contest or date of competition, regardless of the actual contest/dates used. If the percentage calculation for the 20-percent rule results in a decimal -- any decimal -- the whole number preceding it is always rounded up. For example, if the softball team competes in 56 games, 20 percent of 56 is 11.2. Due to the "rounding-up," a softball team member who competed in 12 games does qualify for a medical hardship waiver. To meet the first-half-of-the-season requirement, all competition must cease prior to the start of the contest or date of competition that begins the second half of the season. For example, a soccer player competing in the 10th game of a 19-game season does not qualify for a medical hardship waiver. Also, a student-athlete who is injured in the first half of the season, then attempts to play in the second half and aggravates the original injury, does not qualify for a medical hardship waiver.

Keep in mind folks to even have a chance at a medical Harship RS he would have had to be lost for the season...which he has not been....that in itself tells you all need to know....and then you have to calculate how many games he appeared in....

Here is a good highlight of what it is....Rex would not qualify for the bold below if nothing else...because he did return and more than likely will return for one or all of the final three game and because he has appeared in 5 games he has gone over the 20% of 12 which is 2.4 and rounds up to 3....




If a student-athlete is injured during a season and cannot return to competition, he or she may qualify for another opportunity to utilize that season of competitive eligibility.
To receive a medical hardship waiver - in any sport - the injury must limit the student-athlete’s participation to no more than 20 percent of the team’s contests (rounded to the next whole number), with all participation occurring in the first half of the season.
Therefore, for a football player, the maximum number of games that he can play in and still receive a medical hardship waiver is three (20 percent of 11 equals 2.2, which is rounded up to 3), and none of his time on the field can occur after the fifth game (the sixth game of an eleven game season is considered in the second half of the season).​
