oukast,

It's a glitch, something EA must have missed.

Taken form the official NCAA rules regarding eligibility:

"The term "redshirt" is used to describe a student-athlete who does not participate in competition in a sport for an entire academic year...It does not matter how long you were involved in a particular competition (for example, one play in a football game, one point in a volleyball match)..."

Just to let you know, you can play up to a certain amount of time different per sport, until you lose the ability to red shirt. Also on a side note, my GF set my schools all time career assist record last night 5 matches into the season. Go Lady Reds

Players can get a MEDICAL HARDSHIP if they are injured in the first couple games and are out for the season. There's a percentage that determines how many games you can play in before being injured ... something like 25% of the total regular season games. Schools have to petition the NCAA to apply for a medical hardship.

The NCAA is cracking down on allowing medical hardships.

A medical hardship is different from a redshirt. In a redshirt if a player plays ONE play, he can't get that year back.

Yeah, in my Online Dynasty my friend burned his Qb's redshirt, but the next year the same player was a Freshman All-American and still a Freshman in year 2.

Yeah Jarvis with Kent State is one of those. Missed almost two complete seasons due to injuries. They gave him another year of eligibility.
