Jamal Robinson Out For Season

Really sucks that just as the team starts gaining momentum and we have the biggest game of the season next week on national tv and we lose one of our biggest playmakers. This team had been through a lot these first 6 games. Need to fight through it.

At the qb meeting hud sounded pretty confident Jamal would get a redshirt

I mean this in no negative way whatsoever, as I love J Rob and everything he brings to the team. BUT, it's possible that having him out of the game forced TB to be more cognizant of the rest of the field and possibly forced Jay to get more creative with the play calling and personel packages.

I can see the logic here. It seemed like we threw to more receivers on different routes after JR went out.

I agree with CajunConnection that Coach Hud's attitude at the QB Club indicated confidence that Jamal would get the redshirt approved. Note, QB Club members found out prior to the press about this. That is only because the luncheon was at 12 while the press conference was at 1:30.

I might be wrong.

Here is a link to what I think is the actual document. The relevant section is 14.2.4.

It looks like the standard might be 30% of the games played, which should qualify him.

I've attached the current version (2014-15). Doesn't seem like anything has changed to get a hardship.

12.8.4 is the applicable section.

All of the following must happen and the case is reviewed by Conference:
1. Injury happens in first 4 years of eligibility
2. Injury happens before second half of the scheduled season
3. In team sports, you cannot have participated in the greater of 3 games or 30% of scheduled or competed contests in the season (30% in this case)

Robinson has played in 4 games. It goes by games, not quarters. From what I see, there's nothing stated about bowl games but I have read that they are not counted in the final total of games in the season. From everything I see, he wouldn't normally get the extra year

HOWEVER, there is room to appeal here though:

12.8.4.2.1 Review of Denied Waiver. A conference that denies an institution’s hardship waiver may
submit the waiver to the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. The committee shall have the
authority to review and determine whether to approve the waiver based on circumstances that may warrant
relief from the application of the legislated waiver criteria. (Adopted: 4/20/09, Revised: 7/31/14)

Basically, a player can be granted the extra year even if it doesnt fit the criteria if there are extenuating circumstances. The hope is that since he was injured early in 2 of those games that we could get the waiver

It's my understanding that if a players was never redshirted and played in limited time for the first 6 games there is a rule that allows for him to be redshirted....That's assuming he's not drafted in one of the early rounds

If he plays more than 3 games he can not redshirt. But he has never redshirted, so he should get his hardship with no problems.

Again, speaking to the appeal process, in a similar situation, a basketball player from Temple won his appeal this offseason and got an extra year. He was just over the 30% mark playing in 32.3% of the teams games.

So there is certainly hope, especially considering how little Jamal played in some of our games

Make a bowl game and it brings his percentage of games played lower.

As I mentioned, I did read in an article about an Ohio State player last year that bowl games don't count. The bylaws were a little vague on that though so I couldn't confirm that

Here's the article. A little different in terms of games played. Only reason I used it is because the note about bowls
