Was looking at the medical redshirt rules. I believe it will be close, but J-Mo got hurt for season in game 9 of the season. If we end up playing 27 or more games this year, he will have played in less than 30% of our games, he will have been hurt for season and as long as they have documentation and he is not cleared to return this year, he should qualify for a medical red shirt year. This could be a nice upside to him getting injured, if you can say that, in that he could still have two years left and some continuity and stability at the PG position moving forward.
The NCAA rules state that there are 3 basic requirements to obtain a medical waiver (redshirt)
- a season ending injury
- cannot play beyond the midpoint of the season
- appeared in no more than 30% of
scheduled games
"...athlete may qualify for a medical hardship waiver if they participate in 30% or fewer of their
scheduled games in the regular season."
https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/compli ... rPoint.pdfThe number of "scheduled games" is already known - it is 31.
So there really shouldn't be any question that if he is eligible for a medical hardship waiver unless he returns to play in more games.
