QB of the future?!?!

[mustangfan01]

Foles is an incredible QB. I was at that Westlake v Southlake game and I saw him in a few other games... He would easily start 3 years at SMU and we would be lucky to have him.


I hope this works out...

He's decommitted fron two programs and he hasn't played a down. This kid is demanding to start or else, it sounds like. I can see why a lot of programs would be wary of him.

[Stallion]

Who in the hell cares. He's got big time talent at a position we we have almost no proven depth or an even marginally highly recruited backup. Of course we want him. June Jones bounced around college football(Oregon to Hawaii to Portland St.)-so did alot of his best players. We want TALENT period.

he hasn't played a down

he went 5-8 and 57yrds in a blowout of UAB to open the season, he was redshirted shortly thereafter

He could not have redshirted if he played. If he had a season ending injury there is the possibility of a medical hardship, but 1 play = 0 redshirt.

Sorry the subject has been brought up again.

"Current NCAA football eligibility rules say that if a player competes in up to 30 percent of a team's games in a particular season, he exhausts that year of eligibility. That rule can occasionally be waived pending an appeal to the conference or the NCAA in cases such as an injury."

ESPN - College Football - Big 12 commish proposes no redshirt, more eligibility

Where ever that quote was pulled, it is either wrong or out of context.

are you suggesting that ESPN is wrong?...it states clearly that a player can "compete" in up to 30% of the games, read the article it spells it out for you.

Only for medical redshirt - "That rule can occasionally be waived pending an appeal to the conference or the NCAA in cases such as an injury. "

Been there, done that on this board many, many times....

1 down = 1 year of eligibility unless major injury occurs prior to 30% of the season has been played.

Yes. ESPN is wrong. Perhaps you could educate yourself better by reading the rule book rather than ESPN.

I am out for a while to make a local TV appearance Perhaps someone can ask XTC very nicely to post the rule one more time.

i looked it up, espn did a poor job of representing what the rule says

Myrdel: a gentleman, scholar and weatherman.

Do we have to go over over redshirts every year?

perhaps if they rule in favor of 5 years of eligibility this ugliness will go away

This I agree with. Just give them 5 to play 5. Football takes up time from studies, and it takes in many cases 5 years to do what a normal student could in 4. Let them play all five. If they do not like that, then do not allow Freshman to play as it was in my day, and then allow 4 years to play 4 after that.
