I'm not sure if that is the case here anyway. As stated above he is a senior who would be applying for a medical hardship year from the NCAA due to injuries. Sounds like the coaches are saying it wouldn't be worth his time to apply.Quote:

Of course, that is not what is happening here. He signed out of JC with two years to play, and he has been on scholarship for two seasons. So the school has fulfilled their commitment, they are under no obligation to bring him back for a 3rd year if he is able to be granted a redshirt.Quote:

This ain't intramurals, brother.
I think he played some end, guard, and tackle this year..............end of the bench, guard the water cooler, and tackle anyone who comes near it.Quote:

Agreed. Unless he was a poor teammate, sounds like the kid was hurt and the staff is telling him no need to apply for redshirt. That is their call and I respect it, but no reason to make AY out to be a bad guy here.Quote:

Does he already have his degree? Not sure I understand this situation, can someone explain?

Young was a JUCO but the same thing sort of applies.Quote:
