Message: [QUOTE="ivorytower, post: 2914789, member: 6888"] No, you can't . My understanding (welcome corrections if wrong ) is that a redshirt has to be agreeable to both player and coach. Sometimes it is but sometimes it really isn't if that makes any sense. A player who is likely to see few minutes may desire to keep year of eligibility ( obviously optional to use here or elsewhere ) but he could still be called upon despite intention if a need arises or if he develops faster than expected then another discussion would ensue. My further understanding is a year of eligibility is spent, barring season ending injury before formulaic cutoff, the moment a player steps on field even if brief in game or January scrimmage. Change in rules thankfully granted exception and allowed participation to all in fall scrimmages which helps decisions [/QUOTE]
