If he has played in 9 games so far how can he redshirt? A few years ago Ky football played a kid for 1 game or a few plays and he lost his redshirt. What is the rule on basketball?

Kevin Ware to possibly redshirt rest of season - CBSSports.com

For a medical redshirt, a player can participate in up to 30 percent of his team's games so long as the injury occurs before the second half of the season starts.

 

Louisville is scheduled for 31 regular season games, so being only 13 games in, the second requirement is met. Ware has only logged minutes in nine of them, which is .29 percent of Louisville's total contests for the season. On paper, he meets the requirements for a medical redshirt.

Math nerd alert:

 

You mean it's "29 percent."

Actually the earlier part is the typo. UofL is scheduled for 3,100 regular season games.

Still don't think it's fair to let a kid play, then redshirt him.

Minutes logged has nothing to do with it....right? It is games he as played in.

And you only care because he plays for Louisville... Move along.

Same rule for football. Ware is taking a medical redshirt. You can take a medical redshirt in football if your injury is incapacitating, you do not play in ANY games in the 2nd half of the season, and you play in less than 20% of the team's games.

I hope he stays forever he is terrible and will get in trouble again before it is all said and done.

According to this article it's 30%, and there's a little more to it than that.

 

 

NCAA rules state that to be eligible for a medical hardship, an athlete cannot have played in more than 30 percent of his/her team's games for a season. That would seem to make Smith ineligible, because he played in four games (Louisville, Kent State, WKU, South Carolina). Four of 12 games is 33 percent. But it's more complicated than that.

The NCAA calculates 30 percent of a 12-game football season as 3.6 games. Then, you're allowed to round up. That means that 3.6 games rounds to four games.

Thanks. Must have changed it. Used to be 20% for football. Maybe they changed it when they went to the longer schedule.

Minutes logged has nothing to do with it....right? It is games he as played in.

 

Right. Sorry, that sentence was a little confusing. I meant that only in nine of the games did he register any minutes at all, that is to say, he only played in nine of the team's 13 games.

So, to recap, Ware is eligible for a medical redshirt and has access to extra-dimensional season basketball tickets where he gets to watch several thousand games a year.
