Is Asante going to be ready to go for Mizzou? Any more info on his injury??

[CENTEXHUSKER]

To receive a medical redshirt, the injury must limit his participation to no more than 20 percent of the team’s games (rounded to the next whole number), with all participation occurring in the first half of the season. Therefore, the maximum number of games that he can play in and still receive a MRS is three (20 percent of 12 equals 2.4, which is rounded up to 3). I am not sure if he played in all 4 games, but if he did it would be a tough break for him, if he is out for the season.

Baylor has only played three games so far, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him get the medical redshirt.

 

Right, I was referring to Thenarse though...

Sorry. Missed that. I think Thenarse is out of luck, unless they say that he hasn't played every snap or something like that. Finding the actual rule on the NCAA site is difficult.

From what I have heard, Amukamara and Asante should be fine.

 

Thenarse has a more serious injury.

 

Ricky tore his ACL and will be out for the season, he will apply for a medical and come back next year. Larry has a high ankle sprain and should be good for Mizzu

No way Ricky gets a medical redshirt. Too damn bad too, such a bad way to go out after his career. Maybe they'll make an exception, they have in the past for certain players, but that's few and far between.

I think that it works just like a regular redshirt, if you play one snap in any game, it counts against you.....but then again, I haven't read the fine print.

The NCAA website states:

 

The term "redshirt" is used to describe a student-athlete who does not participate in competition in a sport for an entire academic year. If you do not compete in a sport the entire academic year, you have not used a season of competition. For example, if you are a qualifier, and you attend a four-year college your freshman year, and you practice but do not compete against outside competition, you would still have the next four years to play four seasons of competition.

 

Each student is allowed no more than four seasons of competition per sport. If you were not a qualifier, you may have fewer seasons of competition available to you. You should know that NCAA rules indicate that any competition, regardless of time, during a season counts as one of your seasons of competition in that sport. It does not matter how long you were involved in a particular competition (for example, one play in a football game, one point in a volleyball match); you will be charged with one season of competition.

 

Please contact the certifying institution or conference for additional information. You also may contact the NCAA membership services staff at 317/917-6222 if you have further questions.

 

The NCAA by-laws defines a medical hardship as follows:

 

14.2.4 Hardship Waiver. A student-athlete may be granted an additional year of competition by the conference or the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement for reasons of “hardship.” Hardship is defined as an incapacity resulting from an injury or illness that has occurred under all of the following conditions: (Revised: 8/8/02, 11/1/07 effective 8/1/08)

 

a. The incapacitating injury or illness occurs in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition at any two year or four-year collegiate institutions or occurs after the first day of classes in the student-athlete’s senior year in high school; (Revised: 1/10/92 effective 8/1/92, 11/1/01, 8/8/02)

 

b. The injury or illness occurs prior to the first competition of the second half of the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship in that sport (see Bylaw 14.2.4.3.4) and results in incapacity to compete for the remainder of that playing season; (Revised: 1/14/97 effective 8/1/97, 4/26/01 effective 8/1/01, 4/3/02, 4/24/08)

 

c. In team sports, the injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three contests or dates of competition (whichever is applicable to that sport) or 30 percent (whichever number is greater) of the institution’s scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in his or her sport. Only scheduled or completed competition against outside participants during the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship, or, if so designated, during the official NCAA championship playing season in that sport (e.g., spring baseball, fall soccer), shall be countable under this limitation in calculating both the number of contests or dates of competition in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition during that season in the sport. Dates of competition that are exempted (e.g., alumni contests, foreign team in the United States.) from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition shall count toward the number of contests or dates in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in the season, except for scrimmages and exhibition contests that are specifically identified as such in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season regulations. Scrimmages and exhibition contests that are not exempted from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition may be excluded from the calculation only if they are identified as such by in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season regulations; and (Revised: 1/10/92, 1/14/97 effective 8/1/97, 4/26/01 effective 8/1/01, 3/10/04, 5/11/05, 8/4/05, 4/26/07, 9/18/07, 4/24/08)

 

d. In individual sports, the injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three dates of competition or 30 percent (whichever number is greater) of the maximum permissible number of dates of competition as set forth in Bylaw 17 plus one date for a conference championship (e.g., gymnastics: 13+1=14, wrestling: 16+1=17), regardless of whether the team participates in the conference championship, provided the institution is a member of a conference and the conference holds a championship event in the applicable sport. Dates of competition that are exempted per Bylaw 17 (e.g., alumni contests, foreign team in the United States) from the maximum permissible number of dates of competition do not count toward the number of dates in which the student-athlete has participated. (Adopted: 4/24/08)

According to Sean Callahan on the radio this AM he's going to be OK.

 

Thenarse, on the other hand.... not so good.

 

Ive heard Asante is fine and Thenarse is technically unknown, but from how people are talking about his condition, its not looking good and he may be out for a while.

Thanks for the find AR, so according to this, Thenarse could possibly get a MRS since the percentage of games played is 30; not the 20 that I originally posted . If my math is right and assuming they round up it would be 'played in no more than 3.6 games'.

[knapplc]

Not only that, but something tells me it's not just the games they play in, but the number of plays they're involved in as well. I think I remember that they're more lenient towards a guy who's a backup rather than a starter, but I can't find a link to a story or a ruling on something like that.

 

Am I out of it here or does anyone else remember something like this?
