Not very bright then? Guess sports are more important than academics. Not something to brag about.

Redshirted because of Covid? Hasn’t the whole world suffered from Covid?

Because football was canceled due to Covid. Look, these are the types of kids likely to be 19. Is OP really worried about future quarterbacks?

This makes zero sense.

What? A football obsessed kid didn't get to play football one year because the whole season was canceled. So he repeated a year of high school. For football. Thus he will be 19 when he graduates. What's not to understand? This is a rare reason why there might be someone that old in high school. Not one other person has offered any explanation why there might be a 19 y/o senior. Why do you think there are kids 19-20 in school if that's what the giant concern in this thread is about? Do you know any kids that old in school or is this whole thread a big to do about nothing?

I don’t get why you would hold your child back for sports. No football for one season, if deal. They can still train.

It’s not my child. Football is a different beast. It’s about actual play time and games. Training in a vacuum isn’t going to be the same. I wouldn’t expect most people here to understand. But you realize football is a big deal to universities, right? This shouldn’t be new information.

Any decent university is not going to expect a student to be held back for football. It’s sad that the parents priority is football and not academics. If they are good enough they’d be fine.

Do you often argue about things you obviously have no clue about? It's obvious you don't know the first thing about football so probably best to just bow out.

You think football over an education is more important? Makes zero sense.

If you have a high tier prospect yes football is more important. It’s required to graduate from HS, but that’s pretty much it. You can always go back and get your college degree or Masters degree. You can’t go back and be in prime physical conditioning. Again, this only applies to top athletes who are real professional prospects and not to someone who’s just playing on the JV team to check a box for college admissions at a SLAC.

So really no downside for redshirting this kid. Kid gets academics and athletics.

Are you so entitled that the pp is obligated to answer such a stupid question?

Very defensive. Interesting.

It’s a simple question. And it has a simple answer.

That kid’s education is NOT negatively impacted by redshirting. So that parent really isn’t “putting football over academics” by redshirting. Kid gets both.

So, you do put football over academics.

Redshirting doesn’t negatively affect academics so…no.

There is no disadvantage to redshirting.

If anything it will help his academics as well.

I don’t get why you would hold your child back for sports. No football for one season, if deal. They can still train.

It’s not my child. Football is a different beast. It’s about actual play time and games. Training in a vacuum isn’t going to be the same. I wouldn’t expect most people here to understand. But you realize football is a big deal to universities, right? This shouldn’t be new information.

Any decent university is not going to expect a student to be held back for football. It’s sad that the parents priority is football and not academics. If they are good enough they’d be fine.

Do you often argue about things you obviously have no clue about? It's obvious you don't know the first thing about football so probably best to just bow out.

You think football over an education is more important? Makes zero sense.

How was education negatively impacted for that kid?

Crickets.


So really no downside for redshirting this kid. Kid gets academics and athletics.

Are you so entitled that the pp is obligated to answer such a stupid question?

Very defensive. Interesting.

It’s a simple question. And it has a simple answer.

That kid’s education is NOT negatively impacted by redshirting. So that parent really isn’t “putting football over academics” by redshirting. Kid gets both.

So, you do put football over academics.

Redshirting doesn’t negatively affect academics so…no.

Again, you value football over academics.

No. For that kid they are equal. He loses nothing by redshirting.

Football will never be equal to academics.

He chooses to do both.

He gets football. AND academics.

No downside for him to redshirt.

Choosing football to redshirt is not a justified reason to redshirt no matter how you try to twist it.

Yes, if you have a truly elite prospect in any sport, the sport is more important. I’m sorry but that’s how it is. Even kids in individual sports like gymnastics and skating, they’re not doing a full 8-3:30 day in school.

You can always do more school. You can’t be in the physical condition of an 18-25 year old when you’re 35.

You must be posting on the wrong forum.

Not very bright then? Guess sports are more important than academics. Not something to brag about.

Redshirted because of Covid? Hasn’t the whole world suffered from Covid?

Because football was canceled due to Covid. Look, these are the types of kids likely to be 19. Is OP really worried about future quarterbacks?

This makes zero sense.

What? A football obsessed kid didn't get to play football one year because the whole season was canceled. So he repeated a year of high school. For football. Thus he will be 19 when he graduates. What's not to understand? This is a rare reason why there might be someone that old in high school. Not one other person has offered any explanation why there might be a 19 y/o senior. Why do you think there are kids 19-20 in school if that's what the giant concern in this thread is about? Do you know any kids that old in school or is this whole thread a big to do about nothing?

You don’t really need a justification to redshirt. Sports are as good of a reason as any.
