Message: [QUOTE="ConwayGmck, post: 4509082, member: 10442"] This rule applies to injury that occurs early in any particular season. So the injury must come in the opening stages of the season: a player cannot play in the 2nd half of a season after not playing in the 1st half, otherwise it would seem the player had opportunity to play most if not all of the season, and that would rule out the idea that the player lost a season of eligibility. In college football, it is 30% of a regular season, or four (4) games (a typical regular CFB season is 12 games, so 4 games would be 30% of that). The four games must come in the first half of the season - if a player plays in 3 of the first 4 games that his team played, then gets injured in the 5th game of the season and is unable to play the rest of the season, then he would still be eligible for a medical red-shirt, because he played in no more than 30% of the total schedule, and did not play again after the 1st half of the season's schedule, or in the 7th game or later. This was supposed to be the same rule for college basketball, with 30% of a 27-game regular season being 8.1 games, or rounded up to 9 games. I guess I did not catch if that has been changed to just 20%, or 5.4 games rounded up to 6 games. But the rule should still be in place as to the first half of the season, meaning that a player must also not play in or after the 14th game of the season, in order to be eligible for the red-shirt. Reese was injured in Maryland's 4th game of 20-21 against Towson, missed 14 of 29 games, and returned in mid-February against Iowa. It seems like she has broken the NCAA rules at least two ways for earning a medical red-shirt for 20-21....... [/QUOTE]
