Correct.  That's why it worked for the Clemson QB

 

And I admit I was a bit confused by it at first as well.  Had to do more reading

Yep, and it works for that Oklahoma State WR who was the first to make the decision to transfer within the 4-game window.

So him transferring makes no sense.....he could have waited till end of the season and kept playing

 

But then you'd have to work hard at football and school for the rest of the year. Doesn't really sound like his dig...

my 2 cents worth.

the four game red shirt rule wasn't written to facilitate transferring.  It was written with the hope of keeping younger players "engaged".  It also would help older players who are injured early in the season, ie/ Honas (sp?) and could be used by players coming back from a season ending injury last year.  We had a lineman that came back and played in the last 3 or 4 games so he could be on the field at the same time as his brother.  That cost him a year.  If he had a redshirt left it wouldn't have.

 

the midseason transferring is an "unintended consequence" of the new redshirt rule.  But it didn't change any of the "old" rules.  Players have a five year clock.

Unless a graduate, you sit for a season at your new school.  you can't sit at school A,  transfer, and then play next year for school B.  That's why TG split in such a hurry.  He need to get enrolled at his new school for the first semester.  He is sitting this season and can play next year.  Once he become eligible his five year clock will limit him to three years of playing for his new school even through he never played a down for Nebraska.

So....to take this conversation all the way around.  

 

Lindsey did nothing for himself or the team....other than quitting on the team.

Yep, long story short, the only thing Lindsey did was rid himself the obligation of going to practice and school.

It's always been that way.  Both Oregon and Oregon State have gone after California kids for decades.  Not enough D1 talent in Oregon.

They were all wrong....he cant use this year as a transfer year. He will miss two years. 

Then leaving was dumb.  He should have stuck around knowing that he could get more PT by playing better or through injury.  Five star rating with a one star brain.

The number of personal insults against the player in this discussion is astounding

It took me doing this to figure it out.  I'm a pictures kind of guy.

 

year one = plays

year two = plays

year three = plays

year four = plays 4 games and graduates ends up being his redshirt

year five = grad transfer and new school plays

year six = He's already played 4 years so he is not eligible anymore.  Plus, the 5 years to play 4 rule comes into affect.

i don't think his glide path to the NFL is quite set yet?

If you're talking about questioning his decision....that's not a personal insult.

If you question his decision by saying he has a 1 star brain, etc., then it's a personal insult.

Yeah....but I haven't see too much of that.  Not enough to be "astounding".
