Eligibility Question (Redshirt Rule)

[swarmer]

Could a player redshirt in his fifth year, after playing full four seasons?

Example: Taquon Marshall practices and plays next year at WR, but limits his participation to 4 games and takes his RS year?

I dont think so

 

[stech81]

Would not think so after 4 years of playing he is finished

 

[JacketFromUGA]

No

Certainly an interesting proposition. Wonder how the NCAA would deal with that if someone actually tried to do it.

No, once you have played your four years you are done.

You have 5 years to complete four years of playing. Once you use up those four.....you are done.

No, once you have played your four years you are done.

Or is 4 years + 4 games

 

[TampaGT]

Or is 4 years + 4 games

You have 5 years to play 4 seasons. Once you have played 4 seasons you are done.

So my RS senior year I can’t play my last 4 games because I played 4 my RS year?

Not trying to stir you up but the question is technically the same amount of games. 4 years + 4 games

No it is not.....a red shirt year doesn't count.....so if you have played none, 1, 2 or 3 years.....you can red shirt and still have the 5th year to complete four seasons......once you complete four seasons, you are no longer eligible.

It would be cool if they gave every player 50 games to play in. You waste your game on La Monroe and maybe you don’t get to play against Clemp in the championship game because you ran out of game eligibility.Maybe stretch it over 6 or 8 yrs & 3 or 4 different schools so you don’t have kids skipping all over the place. This allows for injuries, personal situations, coaching changes, etc.
