What the heck is "red shirt status"?
|

"Red shirt" status is when a player in a member of the team, but does not play in any games that year, and keep all four years of eligibility.

I don't think so - wouldn't it be the 'season' - not the year? So if he's red shirted for 09-10 season and doesn't play, he still have the 4 years.

Is a bowl game considered to be in the "season"?

I think so
a redshirt freshman is sometimes a transfer student and the "redshirt" year doesn't count towards his NCAA eligibility as opposed to a "true" freshman EDIT: come to think of it, its the scholastic term so prolly Fall/Spring of 2009/2010 |

Bummer. Boise State has a red shirt that I was hoping could play in the Fiesta bowl.
