Is Bohannon's Medical Redshirt Guaranteed?

[SSG T]

I wish I was as confident as you both. The decision is still a judgment call by some committee. I don’t think it’s a stretch to disagree that JBo is incapacitated and can’t continue after averaging 25 minutes a game. A second surgery on the other hip is a different story.

I thought Ott was a 6th year also but I can’t find the data. He played 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. He never should have played after the elbow injury in 2015. I feel that is on the doctors but Ott paid for it in the end. Kirk seemed rather shocked the denial of a 5th year. If Kirk can be shocked by a medical hardship decision , I think anything can happen.

JBo meets all of the criteria currently laid out, so there's about a 99.99999999% chance he'd get a med hardship waiver. Same with PMac (if he doesn't play after the Kennesaw State game (I think is the midway point).

Nunge would have a chance, but his situation is different since he already redshirted. Since he'd be asking for a 6th year, there's a decent chance it gets denied.

Plus Ott had 5 seasons already. Getting a 6th is very difficult.

Yep. Settles got one, but he missed an entire season plus all but 3 (?) games the previous year because of injuries. Nunge sat voluntarily, not because of injury (that he got hurt anyway is immaterial, though it will likely be a part of the request).

It is now.

Apples and oranges.

Apples and oranges.

Which is why I posted it. I've seen quite a few people use Settles as an example as to why Nunge "will" get one. They are different situations.

Most discussion here is about Bohannon. My post was about that.

After a second surgery the NCAA will have no choice but to grant him a 6th season...

Yep, moot point now with second surgery.

You really think Nunge (who clearly suffered a season ending injury early in the season meeting all other MHW requirements has a decent chance of getting denied because he's already used a redshirt year?

I thought the Ott issue was that there was some gray area regarding his eligibility for MHW, it seems that this doesn't exist in Nunge's case.

Ott was clearly over the "games played" rule, and then everyone tried to count the number of plays, or the number of quarters, etc., to get around it. His case was indeed requesting an exception to the clearly stated rules.

Bohannon is within the clearly stated rules, and has a 99.2% chance of receiving his medical hardship waiver.

Yes...From the NY Times in 2017:

The N.C.A.A. allows Division I athletes to have five calendar years to play four seasons of competition, giving them a cushion in case they sustain an injury to have a redshirt year. The organization is strict about granting sixth years and does so only when colleges can prove players lost two seasons of participation because of reasons beyond their control, like injury or illness. The N.C.A.A. said it could not provide a tally for the total number of athletes who have received a sixth year.

Nunge could apply for a 6th year, but it appears as though the odds of getting it are fairly poor.

Interesting tidbit on the 6th year stuff. I didn't realize it was about having to show 2 lost seasons.

Wut?

That's why I posted about Settles. He lost all of one season and most of another. I don't know how they'll view Nunge's RS season, but I wouldn't put a lot of money on him getting an extra year.

Who? Bohannon? Why would he need a 6th year? Or did you fat finger a 6 instead of 5?
