How are we going to handle the second list of non-covid exception players since the source only goes down to 152 games now and next year will probably stop at around 155 or 156?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:09, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is the second list WP:DUE? Are there reliable sources that maintain such lists? Players from decades ago also had a disadvantage with shorter schedules and freshman ineligibility.—Bagumba (talk) 06:05, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well if it can be sourced, I'd support it, but if not...-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SportsGuy789:, you have been the main editor of this page in recent years. Do you know if there is a way to source the second (non-COVID) list?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:29, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know of one. @Dale Arnett: is the user who added that list on 1/26/22. SportsGuy789 (talk) 16:24, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty sure the NCAA does not keep a separate list on non-COVID era games played leaders. If not I struggle to see why the second list would be there. There is no list of games played leaders from before freshman eligibility Rikster2 (talk) 16:35, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The NCAA now keeps separate games played leaderboards for COVID-era and pre-COVID players. See, e.g., pages 29–30 of the 2023 edition of the Division I men's record book and page 23 of the D-I women's record book. — Dale Arnett (talk) 01:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It handles career games played well but for single season it messes up. On page 61 it shows two teams played 41 games in a season, but on page 4 it only lists players from one of them.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

5th year of eligibility[edit]

2024–25 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team has two holdovers from Juwan Howard's tenure who have a 5th year of eligibility remaining. I don't believe we are suppose to keep 5th year players on the roster until they announce that they will return. Another editor is including them on the roster until they announce that they will not return. What is right?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page move discussion, Carolina–Duke rivalry[edit]

Please take part in the move discussion at Talk:Carolina–Duke rivalry#Requested move 23 April 2024. Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 13:56, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redshirt[edit]

With the NCAA transfer portal, have redshirt rules changed? I understand the following to be the basketball rules:

  1. Injured in first half of season.
  2. Played less than 1/3 of games.
  3. Career in that sport span at most six years (plus a potential COVID exception).
  • By these rules, I believe that Jace Howard of Michigan who played 10 of 32 games last year due to injury has both a COVID year and a redshirt year of eligibility remaining. The press seems to talk as if he has one year remaining.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:07, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extraneous or not[edit]

When a McDonald's All-American Game honoree only gets 10 minutes a game as a freshman, is it important to describe which players exercised the COVID exception to stay or transfer in for an extra year. At Kobe Bufkin this content was removed by an anonymous IP. Should I revert?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:11, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's more relevant to the team season page and those respective players' bios. Its trivial for Bufkin. —Bagumba (talk) 20:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
