So if the 30% medical redshirt is gone due to the new 4 game rule, then the medical 6th year exception is still possible with a regular redshirt. Again, all hypothetical because Gooden still has a redshirt available.
If your redshirt is not due to medical reasons, you’re not going to get that sixth year.So if the 30% medical redshirt is gone due to the new 4 game rule, then the medical 6th year exception is still possible with a regular redshirt.

The 30% medical redshirt isn’t gone. That 30% rule also comes with no games played past 50% of the season. The four game rule doesn’t include the 50% deal
So if hypothetically this year a player redshirted after playing 4 games with no injury, then years later misses their senior season with an injury, could they file for a medical exemption 6th year. Since you say the 30% medical redshirt doesn't exist anymore then any redshirt senior who gets hurt could apply for the exemption to get a 6th year? Right?It is there for other sports. It has no use for football any longer, though. You wouldn't ever go through filing a waiver when the rule automatically gives you your redshirt.
"Scrapped" was probably the wrong verbiage, let's just say it has no use any longer for football.
Fwiw they are also working on doing away with the first/second part of the season restriction for other sports, partly to give equitable flexibility to what football has been given. Though it has been tabled for the time being.

This is what I was asking about. Haha. So it is still possible.Though there is a rule adopted last year that is kind of odd to me, but it states if the redshirt decision was made by the staff in the player's initial year of eligibility and they go on to lose 1 additional year outside of their control, then they can be granted an extra year of eligibility just in this particular case. Basically their argument was a freshman being redshirted is probably having the redshirt forced upon them by the staff (outside of their control) which could then negatively impact how many seasons they ultimately get to play.
Maybe something to watch moving forward with freshman redshirts.
12.8.1.7.1 Waiver Criteria "The student-athlete did not use a season of intercollegiate competition in his or her initial year of full-time, collegiate enrollment due to an institutional decision to redshirt the student-athlete; the student-athlete was listed on the institution's squad list and was eligible for competition during the segment of the season that concludes with the NCAA championship; and the student-athlete was deprived of the opportunity to participate in intercollegiate competition in one other season due to circumstances beyond the control of the student-athlete or institution "

Though it has been tabled for the time being. The Football Oversight Committee took no position on it ofc, only saying it should be reviewed for its impact on other sports.
