Here is a link....and not a PDF: http://www.athletics.vt.edu/compliance/competition/seasons.html





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.

My thoughts exactly, I don't know the requirements for a MRS bu the hasn't playe dhardly at all and this seems to me to be the reason for a MRS.

Plus he never redshirted and missed something like 5 games his FR year.....or did he redshirt?
 




As has been shown in this tread he does not qualify for a Medical Red Shirt...if for no other reason he came back and played after the initial injury....plus he played in 5 games...

so like I said in post #2; Fisher and Anderson

link please ... ;)


---
so for those of us scoring at home:

Moss & Anderson are redshirting ... & AM will be a RFr, & ZA will be a RJr next fall.
Curry is not eligible to redshirt and will be a sophomore in 2013 (with a redshirt year still available)
Fisher is eligible to apply for a 6th year of eligibility should he choose to.
& Superman has used up his eligibility :(

That is probably what is going to happen....he would be a fool not to head to Med School if accepted....Bo has indicated he has applied to schools and if he plays sixth year it will be based I would think on him not being accepted...and based on his grades and MCATs he will have no trouble getting in...


Fisher would be best suited to continue with his education.
