No. If the bowl game counts as one of the 18, he will first be eligible for Bowling Green. If not, it'll be Kentucky.
Oh so last year's games counted toward his suspension?
It was 18 games total, and yes, last year's games count, but that means his redshirt didn't. So he is a sophomore this year, with 2.5 years to play 2.5.
This just makes me so effing mad.Quote:

But whoever screwed it up did so when they burned last year for him. What they should have done was suspend him the first 6 games this year but let his redshirt year stand so that he would still be a freshman this year.
What happened to Calhoun?
it's either LSU or BG from what I was told. I don't think they even know yet. the suspension was for last year and six "weeks" this year (remember the suspension isn't just games, it's traveling with the team, etc...). It may include the bye week, but I don't look for the NCAA or Bracky to be reasonable at this point.
Bracky totally screwed the pooch. They sent the kid into a meeting with investigators with no preparation. He was totally blindsided, or so the story goes. Didn't have any sort of representation present.Quote:

Everybody else in the SEC would coun't the bye week. We will not.Quote:

It has nothing to do with weeks, it's games.
If they said weeks and we don't count the open week, we are giant pussies.
They didn't, Hack is wrong.Quote:

I still don't understand how the 1st year was lost. I hope we appeal that and count it as a redshirt.
Similar or worse offenses were punished much, much less than 18 games. Frankly, I can't think of any player anywhere that got Redmond level punishment despite other schools violations being a lot more serious.
There wont be any appeal- WE- Mississippi State- offered that to the NCAA and they accepted it. The NCAA didnt suspend Redmond- WE DID THAT.Quote:

ETA: I always find it funny when people question/doubt Hack on something like this...
I'm not questioning his knowledge of the situation (that would be insane), but the suspension was for games, not weeks.
