Will he get a medical redshirt after only playing in a handful of games or is he done? Sorry just don’t know how all this works with injuries etc
Ike Boettger
- Thread starter Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia
- Start date
I have no idea if this is accurate, but someone else mentioned that he has too many years in. They don't do it for a 6th year? I'm sure someone else knows for sure.
Vandenberg got a 6th year and it's happened before. No idea on this situation though.
They did it for like 12 years for Jess Settles. I think there might be a quota in place for each school. We don't get another 6th year guy until something like 2030. Vandeberg was a shoe-in because he played as a true freshman and never red-shirted. It is difficult to get a 6th year.
Kinda weird that the lineman from TTU gets like 8 years but anyone else gets boned.
Where did you get the information that it's difficult to get a 6th year? It's my understanding that since he only played in a few games, he would not use up this year of eligibility and would qualify to come back, pending approval.

Medical Red-shirts and the Five-Year Clock
Athletes must keep in mind both the five-year clock and their four seasons of competition. Even if an athlete gets a medical hardship waiver, he or she needs to have time left on their five-year clock (10-semester/15-quarter clock in Divisions II and III) to use that season.
This is problematic for athletes took a normal redshirt season or sat out due to a transfer. An athlete can generally not use a medical redshirt in those cases unless they get a clock extension or sixth year waiver. To do that the athlete show they lost two seasons outside of his or her control. The medical redshirt would be one, but the athlete would still need to show another.

Thanks Cougar for the research.. that simplifies it a tad more

For someone who starts a lot of threads you sure act like u don't know anything?
That's a good resource, Cougar. The only thing missing is that there should be one more sentence at the end that says, "Of course, we can do whatever the heck we want, so sometimes these rules don't mean squat."
Yeah, by the book he can't get an extra year. However, if he had transferred because of a new coach he could have. The Nebraska QB got an extra year because of an OC change. Although, from the looks of things, I hope they keep Tanner Lee an extra year.
You basically have to lose 2 years of playing time due to injury to get a sixth year. Ike missed a few games over his last few years but nowhere near what is needed for a sixth. I'd say it's a 98% chance he's done.
Dace Richardson is the last guy I can remember getting a sixth year but that poor guy had missed like 2.5 years out of his 4 nonredshirt years to injury.

And yet another argument for not redshirting players automatically when their freshmen. Save the bugger in case you need it. Iowa's history getting 6th years has been problematic at best. MVB did not redshirt, so he was not asking for a 6th year.
MVB had not redshirted, so he qualified for a medical redshirt.
Boettger has already used a redshirt, so his only hope is a hardship waiver for a 6th year.
Very haphazard implementation. Drew Ott couldn't get a 5th year despite lots of injury time, while Tanner Lee somehow gets a 6th year due to an OC change.

Then Ike would have been a senior last year and would be gone now. It wouldn't have helped.
I get that ichawk, I do, and some players especially a lot of the lineman probably need that extra year to grow physically. I just think these guys, especially the skill guys come to college so much farther ahead then back in the day. All the camps and 7 on 7's have them much better prepared. Even if they just play on special teams, they get a good feel for the speed of the game if their called upon as freshmen or sophmores.
I think people get too worked up when KF plays a Freshman and burns a RS, because you never know if they guy will get hurt later or end up leaving early to NFL. I do think KF shouldn't be burning RS's and not playing guys. Stanley should have played more last year.
