Red shirt question

At my son's school, D2- 36 total, the redshirts are on the roster, but don't have numbers. They practice, but don't travel.

Thanks- care to weigh in 3fingeredglove? I know you'll have chapter and verse as to where this can be found in the NCAA rule book.

For Division 1, during the championship segment (the spring season), a player must be on the 35 man squad list in order to practice with the team.

17.2.8.3 Varsity Squad Size Limitation—Championship Segment. An institution shall declare a varsity squad of a maximum of 35 student-athletes by the day prior to its first scheduled contest in the championship segment of the playing and practice season. Only those student-athletes who are declared as varsity squad members at that time shall be eligible to participate in countable athletically related activities with the varsity squad during the remainder of the championship segment. Declared varsity squad members shall not participate in countable athletically related activities with an institution’s subvarsity team (e.g., freshman, junior varsity). A student-athlete who is a counter (per Bylaw 15.5.1) must be included in the varsity squad limit.

I don't know of a D2 limitation on squad size or who may practice with the team (assuming the player is a qualifier).

By the way, this statement "Division 1- if player is redshirting he must be listed on the roster which is capped @ 35." is only true if you use a circular defintion of redshirting as "on the roster, but not playing". There is no NCAA rule regarding redshirting, other than a college must record whether a player competed in the previous season, and threfore consumed a season of eligibility. Every student who doesn't compete on the baseball team is "redshirting" in the sense that he isn't consuming a season of eligibility.

Thank you 3FG- exactly what I was looking for. I'll print it up.
