Need some help! My son currently play's college baseball at a NCAA Division I school. He played His 1st year-(freshman)and 2nd year-(sophmore) year, but his 3rd year-(junior)year he decided to redshirt due to lack of playing time. This year, his 4th year-(senior)year he won a starting spot and 2 weeks before the season was to start, he broke his arm. He is out for this season(2007)
The question I have is: He redshirted his junior year, but if he medical redshirts this year, does he still have 2 years of eligibility or does the 5 year rule apply or can you request a waver to the 5-year rule per NCAA bylaw 30.6. ??????? THANKS!
