6th year seniors

[TENICFAN30]

What are the chances that brandon kennedy gets his 6th year? how many 6th year seniors have yall heard of before.

 

[VFLBerg]

MSU got two last year. Ga Tech had a QB who got a 6th year as well.

Jake Hartbarger and Brandon Sowards granted 6th year of eligibility for MSU Football


Johnson Granted Sixth Year of Eligibility

 

[Boston Vol]

He should have no issue getting a sixth year.

 

[tnutater]

NCAA hates us.

I don't Him and coach would be discussing it had they not already been informed that he is eligible.

Let's pay him $12,000 and play him regardless of what the NCAA says.....

 

[MontyPython]

Wait.. they got limits on years now? Someone tell my son!

Hasn’t that kicker from Georgia been playing for 6 or 7 years? You know the one that wears the goggles.

Ha! On the other hand, My son would graduate in 3 years if the school offered all the classes when he needed them. He'll gradiate Fall 2020 instead of Spring 2020.
Good for the school. Bad for the student.

I've probably head of 20-30 sixth year guys. If you meet the rules, it is a good deal.

Kennedy meets the rules.

Cmaglia's stats are actually better but he gets no press.

I have my doubts. I just took a quick look at the NCAA rule which did not really help but this situation does not fit the rule. I understand that Kennedy's request would be based on missing almost all of two separate years rather than that he missed all of one year. I don't think that the NCAA is very responsive to equity arguments that don't fit their rules. It may seem fair to us in the same way we thought Plavsic's situation justified a waiver but, again I have my doubts.

I thought he got hurt near start of West Virginia game. And, missed that entire season.

Perhaps I'm wrong?

 

[mercuryvol]

Now if only he wore a red jersey or had a solid golden helmet or a buckeye leaf on it......

 

[MurphyVol]

A small handful of players have gotten 7 years of eligibility. They had missed complete multiple seasons but it's happened a few times

You thought right

 

[Grudenhaslanded]

Unfortunately, Kennedy gets denied. This is Tennessee after all.

He played the first game last year then out. The rule is 30% or 40% and can't play after the middle of the season.
