Redshirt 7b Activations

Beginning in the 2023 season, we implemented the new NCAA rule for redshirts that allows teams to play a redshirt for 4 games in the season and/or playoffs without losing their redshirt status. These games do not need to be consecutive. This is useful for filling injuries, providing depth and showcasing new talent to see what they can do. Coaches must inform the commissioner of the player they would like to activate under Rule 7b '4 Game Redshirt Activation' rule - the commissioner will track all 4 game redshirt activations here.

Redshirt IR INJURIES

This section keeps track of players that have used up their injury redshirt status and redshirts placed on A/O during the season.

Before week 7 games are run, you can move injured non-redshirts to protected IR/redshirt status in order to maintain a year of eligibility if and only if the injury is severe enough that they will not return to full health in the current regular season. Must be at least O-12 in week 2, O-11 in week 3, O-10 in week 4, O-9 in week 5, O-8 in week 6, O-7 in week 7. That said, you must activate an R redshirt if you do this. Example: If a 3 year player with an O-12 is moved to IR in week 6, an R redshirt must be activated to give up the IR spot. The R redshirt becomes a 2 next season, but the 3 stays a 3 for the following season.

Redshirt recruits “R” must be on IR or (I)nactive. If you choose to skip their year of redshirt status and use them in the current season by moving them to an A/O slot at anytime, they lose their 'redshirt' recruit status but keep their 'injury redshirt' eligibility. This means they will automatically be aged to 2 years the following season. Although the commish will leave ALL 'R' players moved into A/O slots at their 'R' age throughout the season, it is for awards purposes only
