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]
@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 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]
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]
With the NCAA transfer portal, have redshirt rules changed? I understand the following to be the basketball rules:
Injured in first half of season.
Played less than 1/3 of games.
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]
I seem to remember the Mid-Continent called the “Mid-Con” Rikster2 (talk) 11:41, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Midwestern City Conference, later renamed the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, had the MCC initials first. When the AMCU became the Mid-Continent, I have the same recollection of it as Rikster2usually being referred to by the media as the Mid-Con, since there was already an MCC. However, there was sometimes confusion when MCC was used, because people wondered which conference's name was being abbreviated. In other words, even though MCC was generally not being used by the media to identify the Mid-Con, readers weren't sure which league was the MCC, resulting in the Midwestern Collegiate losing its direct link to the MCC identity. It didn't help that teams moved between these two conferences. Rescuing its unique identity was one reason the Midwestern Collegiate started considering a name change, which ultimately happened.
If abbreviations are to be used for that era, I suggest MCC for Midwestern City/Collegiate and Mid-Con for Mid-Continent, since those are the ones commonly found in the media during the period the two co-existed. I would continue using Mid-Con for the Mid-Continent for the six years it existed alongside the renamed Summit League. Taxman1913 (talk) 04:12, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
