Seems logical to me, there are quite a few players who read it.

I don't believe it. You can't use the person in question as the source of information. You need to ask the guy in the dorms who heard it from his neighbors barber who heard it from a guy who knows.

Random fear driven poster: "OMGZ, Charlie wasn't at 9am music class, A guy I know who hangs out with his friends in Iowa City said he's mad about redshirting, so he is going to transfer to another school and sit out a year."
Other fear driven poster: "Seems legit, must spread to everyone with eyeballs!!!"

Great to hear. He could be the best defensive back we have had in awhile.

Dude is going to love all the developmental time for young guys during bowl practices. He's also going to love the chance to break into the 2 deeps during spring practices.

Everyone's first semester in college is tumultuous. I'm sure it is even more so for student athletes.

I won't believe anything until its official.

Plus a redshirt year not only means usually more playing time during your career, but could mean the difference between getting drafted or not because you've had that great 5th year because of added maturity, strength, and experience.

Do I understand it correctly that a redshirt is based on the calendar year and if we play a January bowl, players that have redshirted can play without consequences?

Exactly. Charles is that much more ready to play and will have 4 more years to prove it on the field.

I'm fairly certain that's false.

No. They cannot play this season.

I am reasonably sure that it is based on the season of the sport involved. So any bowl game after this 2012 season would be included in a FB player's redshirt year.
