And not necessarily eight semesters. If a player had a season-ending injury or had to sit a year due to transfer, they are allowed five years under PL rules. The two Bucknell players I cited both were there for five years – Tyree due to a torn ACL and Fitzpatrick due to sitting out the mandatory year after transferring from Penn. In all of these cases, the player’s 5th year has to have a legitimate academic purpose. Bucknell makes the player/team jump through a lot of hoops to get approved. Took Tyree and Fitzpatrick about six months.

Now if Bucknell could only get a few 5th year football players. They have not had even one player take an injury redshirt since at least 2003.
