Does anyone know how much eligibility former Valpo High and current Notre Dame player Scott Martin has? He played for Purdue in 07-08, sat out in 08-09 after transferring to ND, and sat out the entire year last year with an injury. Is he a junior eligibility-wise or a sophomore?

if i'm remembering old discussions on here somewhere, you have 5 years to play 4, correct? which would make him a junior. or does that change with medical redshirts?

I want to say that if you sit out one year on the transfer rule, any years that you are out for medical reasons, after the transfer year, are lost seasons, so you lose the year that you would have been playing so I believe he is a junior athletically, and a senior academically?

Yes, Scott lost a year of eligibility due to the transfer and injury. He's not getting a Greg Tonagel or Evan Eschmeyer exemption.  |

Notre Dame will constantly refer to Martin as a senior because Notre Dame doesn't mention the redshirt status of an athlete until their last year. At that point, the athlete becomes a 5th year senior. Devereaux Peters missed all but three games with the Irish her sophomore season after suffering a torn ACL. She played as a junior last year and is a senior this year although she still has two years left. She'll play next year as a 5th year senior.

There was a guy at Iowa several years ago who got a 6th year....if Scott isn't getting one then I am suprised...and of course there's always the case of Greg Tonagel at VU...maybe they didn't apply for an additional year....or maybe the fact that he transferred doesn't make him eligible...I really don't know why he wouldn't get the additional year but if '89 says he doesn't, then he doesn't

Not usually granted when one of the missed seasons is due to transfer or voluntary redshirt. I'm not real familiar with Tonagel's situation, but I believe he had two medical hardship seasons. Butler's Julian Betko received a sixth year when the NCAA determined his knee injuries kept him from competing in two seasons (somewhat complicated because he also transferred from Clemson to Butler during the same time). On the other hand, Pete Campbell (voluntary redshirt as a freshman at IPFW and a year missed due to transfer) was NOT granted a sixth year. The NCAA addresses these cases individually and sometimes make exceptions. It wouldn't hurt for ND/Martin to ask for a sixth year, but it just doesn't look good based on the NCAA's history. |
