Message: [QUOTE="leftytg, post: 1927720, member: 2651"] a medical redshirt (technically a medical hardship waiver) stipulates that you must be injured such that you are incapacitated and have played less than 30% of your team's games in the particular season. If that happens, you can apply for the medical hardship waiver and get that year back. The ordinary redshirt simply means going an entire season without competing in a game. The second you step on the field for a game, you have burned the redshirt. You are correct in that there is no application process or anything - simply not playing automatically preserves that year of eligibility. You have 5 years to exhaust 4 years of eligibility, absent a hardship waiver. [/QUOTE]
