What are the rules for Medical Redshirt? Are there any, or is it a judgment call? I don't understand how Naz could get one after playing 8 games if Bundrage could not after playing 30 seconds. Anyone have any knowledge on the subject?
 
Season ending injury in the first semester where playing in less than 30% of games. Naz will get it without issue.
 
The big difference here is he is only trying to get a 5th year of eligibility not a 6th.

Bundrage used his redshirt as a freshman and was here five years and would have been asking for a sixth year which just wasn't going to happen. Naz has not used a redshirt yet.

Jeremy, this made me feel better... because honestly I believe it coming from you.
 
So he basically had to shut it down now to get the medical redshirt because Saturday's game is not considered "1st semester". Is that correct?

P.S. My name is Jeremy (just not that Jeremy). Does that give me partial cred?
 
Can play in 30% of the games rounded up to the next highest number. Amounts to 10 games in basketball and 4 in football. All have to be in the first half of the season. Not sure that the semester has any bearing.
