How do you start 10 games and then get a do-over? It's a joke.

yeah, i thought the cut-off was playing in less than 30% of your team's games, with all postseason games counting as one game:

But if you count all of Cuse's postseason games as one game, they played 32 games.  10/32 = 31.3%.  according to ncaa rules, devendorf can't even qualify for an extra year of eligibility.  unless a medical redshirt is different from a hardship waiver.

I always forget who started first, Devendorf at Syracuse or Brett Favre in Green Bay.

I swear I can remember Devendorf guarding Robb Logterman!

The NCAA measures the 30% differently.  32 games x 30% = 9.6 games.  They round up, so 10 games is the limit for a 32 game basketball season.  Devendorf fits under that limit. 

FWIW, Medical Hardship is the official NCAA name, Medical Redshirt is the name the press uses.

thanks for the clarification on both accounts.
