I think this goes back to the conversation regarding Rose’s medical redshirt. The rules attached to the eligibility of an athlete getting a medical redshirt are very specific and one of them is that the athlete must have suffered a “season ending injury.” I mean, it says it there in black and white “season ending injury.” How can you play in a bowl game if you’ve suffered a “season ending injury?”
I know Whitt said that Rose’s medical redshirt wouldn’t be affected by playing in the Las Vegas Bowl but that goes against the rules for a medical redshirt. With all of the stuff that’s gone on this season, Rising’s injury stories, Kuithe’s injury stories, is it possible that Whitt just misspoke on Rose being available for the Las Vegas Bowl?
