The_Big_Dowski Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Does anyone know the criteria for players getting granted extra years of eligibility? I heard Venric Mark was granted an extra year because he only played in 3 games this year. Martinez played in 4. Obviously he's not coming back, just curious. Did Mark play as a true freshman and is that why it happened? Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 http://sports.findlaw.com/student_athlete/elig_summ/ An extra year of eligibility can also be granted via a "hardship waiver" if a student-athlete suffers an incapacitating injury or illness in the course of a season. The injury must occur during the first half of the season and the student-athlete, in Divisions I and II, must not have participated in more than two contests or 20% of the school's completed contests, whichever is greater.

Abdullah the Butcher Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Also, a student-athlete who is injured in the first half of the season, then attempts to play in the second half and aggravates the original injury, does not qualify for a medical hardship waiver. So he knowingly screwed himself by playing Minnesota. Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I believe the Minnesota debacle was the nail in the coffin for extra eligibility. Either way I love Taylor and what he accomplished hear but it's time to move on as a fanbase and for Taylor and his career. Somebody linked an article from ESPN that said he's getting ready fro pro day so I think he realizes that as well. 2 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I am not sure if he has signed with an agent yet, but if he did that would end it as well. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I am not sure if he has signed with an agent yet, but if he did that would end it as well. Yes, he signed a couple of weeks ago. Minnesota game: not playing...... qualified medical waiver Minnesota game: playing.....usually not qualified. IF Nebraska playing in CCG (one extra game) then NCAA god decision. Probably denied but who knows..... Quote Link to comment

GBR #1 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I respect and appreciate what TMart did for the program, but it is time for change at the most important position on a football team. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I respect and appreciate what TMart did for the program, but it is time for change at the most important position on a football team. Let's hope we see Armstrong have significant improvement going into next year, because he wasn't good enough this year to get us where we want to be..... Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I agree. But as much as he has to work on, he should get plenty of time over the off season. He probably didn't get a lot of reps in fall camp (Martinez got the majority) and when he had to come in and play, our receivers had injury problems and so he probably didn't get a lot of time with the usual starters as Bell and Turner in particular missed a lot of practice time. With he and Stanton splitting reps all spring and all fall, both should be in a lot better spot come September. Quote Link to comment

On a side note, how long have you been a MOD? Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 He is a brand spankin newbeeeeee!! less than a week!!! I think last year was just different. I think Tommy did pretty good, considering all he had to battle. Quote Link to comment

Yeah,who wants to return a 4year starter that set about 30 school records. Give me either a guy who has every bit the same turnover problems but not the big play potential, or a freshman who has zero experience. Quote Link to comment
