Reply to "Redshirt question"

@TPM posted:

There is no such thing as a medical redshirt, an injury would be put through the athletic dept as a waiver to get the year of participation back and also depends on length or seriousness of injury. The term redshirt applies to a grade designation and not an official term of the NCAA.

All it means as an example, a redshirt freshman is an academic soph who is in first season of participation.

Keep in mind that the NCAA allowed everyone who played last year another season and some coaches don't even know what to call it. Lol.

Under a new rule a freshman can play up to 4 games and not lose  that first year of eligibility.

I'm noticing various ways teams are publishing their rosters.

More than 90% of the NCAA-D1 teams have kept the 2020 graduation class value, whereas as some are flagging players with "C-xx" vs "R-xx".

In order to better understand the pipeline, we've started tagging last year's freshman class with the relevant value.

In 2022, it will be interesting to see how many "C-xx" are still on their respective teams
