I believe Pat has addressed this before for many of us, but alas, like you, I still am confused about this at times! :P  Obviously, the best thing would be for us to get a copy of the NCAA rules on this (by either sending to NCAA publishing for that, or some of us could get it from our coaching staff).

Anyway, as I understand it (and again, I could be incorrect), a player has 4 years of eligibility in any one sport, but apparently there is now a time frame to compete eligibility in another sport i.e. like six years total for the two? ??? Pat, is that correct?

Also, as to the medical redshirt, this applies to the early part of the season; if a player plays in more than a third of the games i.e. 4 before the first 1/3 or the season, then that counts as a year, even if he gets hurt and doesn't play the rest of the year.  Any less than that, they are usually granted a redshirt IF they didn't play the rest of the year, although it can be determined on a per case basis i.e. if a player was able to practice the remainder of the season, but did not see any game competitition (perhaps because the coaching staff and/or medical staff didn't feel he was quite ready) then they might still not be granted the year.

Another interesting aspect regarding this:  about 3 weeks ago, I saw in the paper where there is a 49 y/o WR at Duke? ??? or was it Kent State, who had two years of college eligibility remaining, even though he had not been in college in over 20+ years due to active military service.  However, he is a full-time student at that school and actually got in a game and caught a pass!  A great story.

Again, perhaps Pat can (one more time ;)) help us out on this.  Sorry for this repeat/redundant request Pat.

As far as the eligibility stuff I wrote, I was just going off of what was written in the article about ONU.  I am sure you can find the article in the archives to double check and see if my interpretation was incorrect.  I didn't find this in any NCAA rule book or anything, but I may dig around a little today and see if I can find anything.

Just a quick note on Pentello. He is listed on their homesite roster as a Junior and that fact is backed up by their preseason information in D3's.

The Hauslers are listed as Seniors but I don't know about how med redshirts might affect that listing.
WELCOME TO THE MACHINE!

Rocky's first year out of High School he went to Toledo, bit then came home and did not go to school that year...As a freshman at Cap he broke his collarbone the 3rd series of the game and got a medical redshirt...He is now a Jr and could come back as of next year.  ( Had Rocky not got hurt, Capital could have made the playoffs.  They had one of the best defenses in the nation that year and played MU tough only losing 36-22)

Thom Hausler getting a redshirt is true.  In order to get one you have to play in less than 33% of the games..Since in the OAC you only play 10 games, the NCAA rounds up to 4 games.  That is exactly what Thom did, play in four then take the redshirt. Kyle did not play football as a soph so he too as another year to play.

I played with the Haulsers and they are two of the most exciting players I have ever seen.  Whenever they get their hands on the ball, there is a serious chance it could be six for the Crusaders.

I do recall Rocky getting hurt his first year at CAP but my question is what other game did he play in?  The 2002 stats say he played in two games and I was just curious if it was the first two games, one at the end of the year or if it is a mistake in the stats.

Raiderguy

I got my info off the CAP site too and the previous rosters have him listed as FR, FR, SO, JR.  So it was clear now that he took a medical redshirt, I just couldn't remember the circumstances and if he did play at UT his first season then things could have gotten really messy.  If you get a medical redshirt as a senior you would just be listed as a senior again in 2006.

If Pentello didn't attend any classes at Toledo, then my comments would be irrelevent regarding his eligibility.

Good luck to everyone tommorrow.  CAP/MUSKY promises to be a yawner but there are a couple things I will have interest in.  Can the BERG give the Pile a game?  Can JCU dispose of WILM without too much effort or will the Quackers play with pride?  Will OTT give ONU a game at home or will ONU play as sharply as last week?  Does MUC call of the dogs early?

Here's to a good Saturday of football.  We have had eight consecutive days of rain with a weekend still to go.  Hope the weather is more enjoyable for those attending games tommorrow.

rc,
Your good natured "the Pile" comment made me laugh, but I'm pulling for B-W.  I'd like to think they can get it together today even if their winning season record is almost a lost cause.  Good riddens to that record.  Being consistently average isn't much of a record.

I have ONU/Otters on the radio in the background early in the game they've just traded scores.  Sounds like a good one.

ONU 19-17 over Ott at half. I've been following it on the live stats page and their numbers are almost dead even.

reality check

ONU radio crew ran through some OAC scores but they were so fast I couldn't catch everything.

I did hear BW up 28-9 over the Berg.

CAP was up and JCU was up from what I heard but I didn't catch the scores.
