The NFL will always be there. His dad is degree first so this might not be a bad thing for him right now.

So will college, and age makes a bigger difference in the NFL than it does in school.

Actually, Antoine Jr. -- or any other college football player -- would qualify for a medical redshirt, if he played in no more than 4 games, all in the first half of the season... and if a doctor signed off on his injury, which would be absolutely NO PROBLEM for Antoine, or anyone else in a similar situation.

But I am in agreement with the earlier poster... if Antoine could be ready for just the Wisconsin game, then I think he would do anything to get on the field, while tossing aside the notion of a medical redshirt.

Lastly, from what I saw of Antoine last year.... if he plays football for Minnesota in 2020, it will be as a Viking... not as a Gopher.

What, actually, are you basing this on?

He's basing it on his own rules or inability to do simple math. He participated in >30% of games thus is ineligible for a medical hardship exception according to rules frequently cited.

This is not my opinion.... and I have an ability to do simple math.

As of today, Antoine Winfield Jr. would qualify for a medical redshirt for 2017. However, if he takes the field for one more play at some future point during this season, then he forfeits any possibility of a redshirt.

The NCAA "rounds up" when determining the number of games included in its 30% rule.

4 games in a 12-game regular season, as long as all are played in the first 1/2 of the season, would be OK.

Thanks for playing. Brush up on your math. Anyway, that's one of several deciding factors.

This link says the rule is "The player must have competed in no more than 30% of the season or four games, whichever is greater". But this next one says it's three contests:

And this one says 30 or 3 games except for major college football:

I'm guessing that FBS allows for 4 games while other sports allow either 3 or 30%, whichever is greater.

I didn't think they rounded up, but I just read that for football they use 4 games regardless of actual number played since some teams play 12 and others up to 15 (conf champ, playoff, nat'l champ). Based on that I wouldn't be surprised if he gets it because he didn't redshirt yet. If he redshirted already that would have thrown a monkey wrench into it and greatly decreased the likelihood. Hopefully it's a moot point.

Actually, I'm a fan of this proposal: https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...etes-to-play-four-games-regardless-of-injury/

It would eliminate any question. Make it clear cut no question. Also like the ability to throw a young guy out there for a couple games (a la Croft 2015) if need arises and not lose eligibility and the ability to play kids in the Bowl game and not lose eligibility.

From what I've found, they DO round up. Even if the percentage comes out as 3.1, that means 4 games is the limit.

100% in agreement with that statement.

Yeah. A good warmup will include some minimal stretching, but stretching alone doesn't do a lot. Stretching is also a very important part of post-game warm-down. More effective there too.
