Title: ku's Rivera playing in his 5th season without ever redshirting.
Post by: Jesus Shuttlesworth on September 09, 2008, 02:29:09 PM
Something funny is going on here.

From Rivera's bio on ku's sports site:

First this:
Quote
2004 (RS): Redshirted... Practiced with the scout team defense... Chosen by the coaching staff as the defensive scout team player of the week vs. Iowa State.


Hmmmm.. He redshirted?  You can't do that and have a recorded stat in a game unless you are granted a medical hardship.

Defense   G   UT   AT   Total
2007       13  39   57   96
2006       12  66   24   90
2005       12  11   9     20
2004     1  1    0      1
Totals 38 117 90 207 18-71 4.5-32 1-3 12 3 2-0

Notice the stat in 2004? That's from a game against Toledo in which he played.  There is a blurb at the end of this article stating such:

http://www2.kusports.com/news/2004/sep/11/ku_trounces_toledo/ (http://www2.kusports.com/news/2004/sep/11/ku_trounces_toledo/)

Quote
Freshman linebacker Mike Rivera saw his first collegiate defensive action late in the game.


There is also a reference to Rivera getting time on special teams in 2004 and a mention of hurting his back and the possibility of a medical hardship:

http://www2.kusports.com/news/2004/nov/23/mangino_optimistic_about/ (http://www2.kusports.com/news/2004/nov/23/mangino_optimistic_about/)

Quote
The scout-team players expected to step right in include linebacker Mike Rivera, who saw time on special teams during ku's non-conference slate before hurting his back. ku will petition to have this season count as a red-shirt year for Rivera, so the Shawnee native might be a freshman again.

I thought that a medical hardship could only be granted after a player's eligibility is exhausted?  If there is some way he had a hardship granted, why then is there no mention of a medical hardship actually being granted anywhere? 

Now it gets interesting.  Here's another article discussing the practice of redshirting by Mangino.  It refers to Rivera as a traditional redshirt and no mention of a medical hardship:

http://www2.kusports.com/news/2005/nov/15/kus_mangino_tickled_keep_rookies_red/ (http://www2.kusports.com/news/2005/nov/15/kus_mangino_tickled_keep_rookies_red/)

Quote
"That red-shirt year, if you can do it, it's great," Mangino said. "We'll really benefit here in the long run from having red-shirted most of the class."

Kansas had similar luck in keeping true freshmen off the field last year, playing only Marcus Henry, Kyle Tucker, Todd Haselhorst and James McClinton. That allowed up-and-comers like Mike Rivera, Marcus Herford and Aqib Talib to bulk up and get more comfortable with Division I-A football.

What am I missing here? Is the ku compliance office hard at work again?  Is the coach who cheated on his ethics test trying to pull a fast one?

I think you have to play in a certain percentage of the games and he probably did not exceed that so he could redshirt that season. might be wrong though.

Good research. I think that they can grant you a medical hardship year before you exhaust your time. You can't play in more than 20% of your team's games.

You can't play in more 20% of your team's games.

That's to get a medical.  There is no way he would be able to get a non-medical redshirt (hardship) if he even played one single snap.  Which he did play.  Thus the confusion on my part.

NCAA's redshirt definition:
Quote
The term "redshirt" is used to describe a student-athlete who does not participate in competition in a sport for an entire academic year. If you do not compete in a sport the entire academic year, you have not used a season of competition. For example, if you are a qualifier, and you attend a four-year college your freshman year, and you practice but do not compete against outside competition, you would still have the next four years to play four seasons of competition.

Each student is allowed no more than four seasons of competition per sport. If you were not a qualifier, you may have fewer seasons of competition available to you. You should know that NCAA rules indicate that any competition, regardless of time, during a season counts as one of your seasons of competition in that sport. 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); you will be charged with one season of competition.


So, this leaves us at: Did Rivera get a medical hardship?  If not, you've got a BIG problem.

"In other cases, a player may be granted a redshirt if he or she has participated in less than 10% of the season taking place in an academic year."

Other cases.  This is the hardship rule.  As far as I can tell, this was not the case.

The ku website says he redshirted in 2004.  There was no mention of hardship, medical or otherwise.

I'm sure he had an injury early in the season and took a medical.  This is easy to do if you get hurt early and still have a redshirt to use the conference will allow you to use your redshirt.  People often confuse this within getting a 6 year which is a totally different deal though the NCAA and is much harder to have granted.

Link?

I think Mangino is trying to pull one over on the NCAA.  There was no injury. He practiced with the scout team the rest of the year and was honored as a member of the scout team late in the season.

Interesting.  If the Iowa St. scout team player of the week thing is true, then there is no doubt this is cheating.  ku would have actually had to have falsified documents in to show that Rivera was physically unable to play, even though he was playing on the scout team (and apparently playing well).  Of course they could have given him Scout Team Player of the Week for his work in film study I guess.  ...

President Validator probably ran back to slanttard nation, and got clarification from Grayhawker one of the other members of the slanttard nation Reich ministry.

I've never seen any other school not announce when a player gets a hardship ruling . . . I guess it's all part of the super secret ku football operations.  You know Mangino looks up at all those building and parking garages overlooking the practice fields and damn near blows a couple of heart valves every day.

President Validator probably ran back to slanttard nation, and got clarification from Grayhawker one of the other members of the slanttard nation Reich ministry.

I've never seen any other school not announce when a player gets a hardship ruling . . . I guess it's all part of the super secret ku football operations.  You know Mangino looks up at all those building and parking garages overlooking the practice fields and damn near blows a couple of heart valves every day.





I thought they put in some super big trees or something.

I would imagine that ku would not let Rivera play had he actually particpiated on the practice squad that year.  They are in deep crap for cheating already.  Surely their NCAA compliance officer would have told them he had exhausted his eligiblity.  That being said, how awesome if they did?  Basically telling the NCAA "&@#% you, we won't do what you tell us" 

If he actually shouldn't be playing then is this is the ULTIMATE power play by Lew.  Can you imagine Timid Timmy doing this?

Obviously nothing is going to happen.  It is VERY bold and daring though.  Mangino should slap Ron and take his slogan.

This isn't hard to understand, the vast majority of schools, when a key player gets another year, they usually announce something . . . if JCCC-Lawrence didn't, then that's an exception rather than the norm.

No one is disputing this.  The question is did this happen in this case?  And if it did, can an athlete still play on practice squad in said RS year?  Obviously if a guy can still practice, he wouldn't be eligible for a hardship right?

This  article is very detailed

http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/NCAA/NCAA+News/NCAA+News+Online/2005/Association-wide/Education+should+alleviate+hardship+in+requesting+waivers+-+6-6-04+NCAA+News?pageDesign=Printer+Friendly+NCAA+News+And+Updates (http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/NCAA/NCAA+News/NCAA+News+Online/2005/Association-wide/Education+should+alleviate+hardship+in+requesting+waivers+-+6-6-04+NCAA+News?pageDesign=Printer+Friendly+NCAA+News+And+Updates)

Highlights

Quote
In Division I, a student-athlete can apply for a hardship waiver if a season-ending injury or illness occurs in the first half of the season. The student-athlete, however, must not have participated in more than two contests or dates of competition or 20 percent (whichever is greater) of the institution's scheduled contests.

Quote
"One confusing point from a coaching standpoint is practice status," Courson said. "They think even though (a student-athlete) is receiving a hardship waiver that they can go out and practice. That's technically not the case. For example, I may have an athlete who had an anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed in the summer, and he's not ready to play in the fall. We can do some functional rehabilitation with him -- he may be able to wander out to football practice and do some exercises on the side. But it's not permissible for him to practice with that team or he jeopardizes his hardship waiver year."

So practicing with the team at a level needed to attain "scout team player of the week" late in the season might fall under this category?

I'm sorry, but this thing still confuses the heck out of me.

Only if you are trying to follow the rules. As somebody said on the basketball board, "ku stopped pretending they weren't cheating about 5 years ago."

This is the only way I can figure this deal out.  Basically, it's a loophole in the rule where the coach states that he didn't understand the rules.  This would fit Mangino's track record well.  

Quote
14.2.6 Season-of-Competition Waiver—Competition While Eligible. A student-athlete may be granted an additional season of competition by the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement in a case in which the student-athlete participated in a limited amount of competition while eligible due to a coach’s documented misunderstanding of the legislation or other extenuating circumstances. In cases in which a studentathlete does not meet the criteria of this waiver, the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement shall have authority to review and grant a waiver based on additional documented extenuating circumstances. (Adopted: 4/25/02 effective 8/1/02; Revised: 10/28/04)

Quote
14.2.6.2 Coach’s Documented Misunderstanding. The student-athlete participated as a result of good faith, reliance on a coaching staff member’s decision to put the student-athlete in an alumni contest, exhibition contests, scrimmages, or nonchampionship segment contests based on the coach’s documented misunderstanding of NCAA legislation and the competition occurred under the following conditions: (Adopted: 10/28/04)
(a) The competition occurred while the student-athlete was representing an NCAA institution;
(b) The competition occurred prior to the completion of the first 20 percent of the championship segment
of the institution’s declared playing and practice season; and
(c) The student-athlete did not compete in more than two events or 10 percent (whichever number is
greater) of the institution’s scheduled or completed events in his or her sport.
All competition (including a scrimmage) against outside participants shall be countable under this limitation in calculating both the number of events in which the student-athlete participated and the number of scheduled or completed events during that season (both segments) in the sport. (Revised: 8/4/05)

Under this scenario, there is a penalty, however:

Quote
14.2.6.2.1 Penalty. A student-athlete who is granted a waiver pursuant to Bylaw 14.2.6.2 shall be withheld from two contests of intercollegiate competition for each contest in which he or she competed. (Adopted: 10/28/04)

Anyone know if Rivera has sat out two (or 4) games anytime in the last 4 seasons as a result of the above rule?

I'm sure the NCAA has no idea about the entire situation.... thanks for your efforts, Hayzoos.
