Michael McFarland officially a Bull

[usf97]

I was wondeing the same thing. Does a scholarship become available just because someone else takes a madical redshirt? I thought there was only 85 scholly's and that didn't change regardless if someone was redshirting or not.......am I wrong here?

We are just speculating that Andre may have heard that he is coming to USF by asking, "o yea?," because of Mike's response, "hhahah ... u already kno!" Andre then replied, "lol ooooo........ make it happen then."

There is medical scholarship - Meaning your playing days are over due to injury, but the school still owes you some education years. This does player does not count on school's 85 limit.

They have a medical redshirt - meaning you played in limited snaps during first 3 games but got "injured". So school applies to NCAA for that year to count like a redshirt year.

Then there is medical waiver. Meaning players 5 years are up but the spent 2 or those 5 unable to play due to documented injury. The NCAA is then petitioned to grant a 6th year of eligibility.

So, once a player takes a "medical scholarship" he can't ever play again, even he becomes healthy in the future? If so, that seems very harsh.

I actually think the medical scholarship is one of the few fair things in college football.

It is basically saying that if you take/agree to a medical scholarship that your playing career is over. I'm okay with that.

I agree.

I hope we get McFarland.  6-6 240 TE is a big target.  When did QB J. Gunsby leave, that is a scholarship that is available but I am sure someone has accounted for that one.

Gunsby left a couple months ago, academic problems
