Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3443951, member: 55"] No, the rule makes sense. It's not just a "no medical redshirt" rule -- it's a no redshirt for any reason rule, that happens to cover medical redshirts as well as the far more usual in many sports redshirting just for the sake of being older and bigger when your four years start. The Ivy League's view is we're schools that play athletics -- not teams attached to a university -- and you should come here to study and while you're here doing your four years play sports if you want. If you make even a medical redshirt exception, football teams will suddenly find large numbers of freshman football players who have minor injuries and the practice will be abused. [/QUOTE]
