it's done all the time at every college every year with FIRST YEAR PLAYERS.
Blackwell wasn't a FIRST YEAR PLAYER though, he's a redshirt Sr. this year who has previously redshirted, so he can't just redshirt again. And it's not a given that you get a medical hardship, you have to wait until your four years of eligibility are up and petition the NCAA to let you have an extra year.

Are ya'll forgetting that Blackwell played at the end of the season... He was injured in the first game and eventually came back toward the end of the season.

GABlueDog explained it well, but it doesn't seem like you read his entire post:
quote:
Blackwell will not receive a medical redshirt because he was redshirted his freshman year. Last year was just a wasted year because his redshirt had already been burned. There is only one way Blackwell could receive a medical redshirt and that would be for him to suffer another early season-ending injury. We don't want that to happen.
The only way a player can successfully petition for that rare sixth year is to sustain two separate major season-ending injuries a la Kirston Pittman (knee, achilles tendon) or Charles Alexander (right knee, left knee).
The second paragraph isn't universally correct (e.g. Daniel Graff got a sixth year without being injured at all), but in this context it's spot on.

I'm talking about Collins, numbnuts! hint: FIRST YEAR PLAYERS
AND, it almost is a given they will grant you a redshirt if you didn't play again after that...the NCAA has really no choice to believe you were hurt or why would u play one game and NO more.
Blackwell is different and he came back
