I have 3 questions that I could use some help on:
1. What is the actual date that D1 baseball rosters have to be set for the Spring season? Is it just the day before the first game of the season or some earlier period of time?
2. If a player is on scholarship for the 2018-2019 year but can’t play for medical reasons (such as still recovering from TJ surgery) does he still count against the 35 man roster or can the team get a waiver since he won’t play at all in the Spring? I know he is a counter but since he won’t play can the team obtain a waiver and keep another player for the season?
3. What is the deadline for telling a player who was on scholarship the previous year that he won’t have a scholarship for the following year? What happens if he is never told that by the team but eventually realizes that his scholarship was not renewed (such as by seeing in his tuition bill that there is no scholarship applied to reduce his tuition)?
Appreciate the answers to these questions and also perhaps a link to where these actual rules can be found within the NCAA guidelines.
