Willie idea for 'redshirt' controversy - 5 years to compete - 4 post seasons. Period.

are you having a difficult time wrapping your head around it?

it's pretty simple. and exponentially more simple than what we have currently.

 

No... I actually quoted you and agreed that it's pretty simple. "Exactly... 5 years....4 years of post season - very simple."

Are you having a hard time wrapping your head around me 100% agreeing with you?

“Other people have gotten extra years because of injuries. Why is this new arbitrary rule preventing Jonnny from getting the same chances”

Originally it was rare to see many 6th years given because the intent was that they had 2 season ending injury years.

It became more common as the rule was loosened and allowed one serious injury year if that came after an earlier red shirt year (I think as a first year but not sure).

I don't think the theory behind this idea was to give them an equal chance to what was before because it was getting out of hand.

I remember. I wrestled when the rule’s became looser and decided not to go for a 6th year. That doesn’t stop people from using that tactic now that there’s been half a decade of the looser rules

It's not even 'looser', it's just a constant accretion of new exemptions and clauses to handle specific cases that's the problem.

Like using nested epicycles to explain apparent retrograde behavior in planetary orbits instead of understanding that orbits are ellipses and not perfect circles.

I think the basketball story is a good illustration that the redshirt situation does not just apply to Wrestling, it applies to all sports, Olympic Redshirt excluded perhaps. 

I think it would be really tough to get FB and BB to agree to anything other than what they have.   I sympathize with the effort but don't see much hope.

But that has nothing to do with Willie's idea other than he's making a suggestion to eliminate these looser (or whatever term you want to use) rules.

Hence why I said parents/athletes will use those exemptions to sue if they aren’t getting the same treatment.

Which in no way diminishes my point. 

Also, the end result is that the rules/requirements have loosened. Being pedantic about exactly why the rules are looser seems.. superfluous

What laws in which states allow them to sue for such missed opportunities?

Equity laws, especially concerning education and athletics could be exploited. Especially “lack of access to opportunity”.

Do I think these are valid reasons? No. Do I think it’ll happen anyway. Yes

Understanding how or why things ended up that way isn't important?

I'm sure your solutions will be the bestest then.

The same as who? To me it looked like you were saying as to people from previous years.

Yes. If you don’t think there will be people trying to do everything in their power to use the legal system or the threat of lawsuits to get around this rule if it’s implemented.. you haven’t spent much time around education or parents these days.


 

I think people aren’t getting the point. I’m saying IF this rule is implemented. Or to even get the rule implemented. Parents/athletes appealing will be one of the biggest obstacles. Especially given how they’ll be able to point out how “other kids got the same opportunity, why can’t Johnny”

 

maybe I’m cynical but I’m looking at the obstacles that need to be overcome. I don’t hate the rule.
