ncaa test question

[SAump]

How is the umpire suppose to keep up with the status of each redshirt during the course of a season?

Does the coach have to declare a change in a player's pre-season status before each and every game of a season?

If the coach gave the guy a game uniform, then he is considered part of the team. If he plays and it is later determined that he is no longer a redshirt freshman, for various reasons, I've got nothing. If this is a league issue, of course, I will accept any protest lodged by the opponents, and allow the league to penalize the event. Answer D seems very plausible.

I would like to go with choice A, as if I were an NCAA umpire, because it is more politically correct. FWIW, MLB allows "bullpen catchers" not listed on the roster to remain in the bullpen. Of cousre, I assume this MLB allowance will apply to an NCAA game. If not D or A, then I would enforce B, after speaking with the coach, and have him acknowledge the mistake and remove the "fan" from the field.

FWIW, this decision C, the UIC will forfeit the game because of the "ineligible player," seems politically incorrect because of conference standings, travel, etc. I would never cancel a game for this reason. Play the game. Straighten it out later.

D is best option {League issue}, A or B tie {to allow or not to allow by specific NCAA rule}, and never C {worst case points back to D}.
However, if it were not a League issue, then I choose A over B without any specific NCAA rule addressing redshirt elgibility available.

I wouldn't micromanage that issue...let the team who's ratting out the other team be the bad guy...not sure if it's right, but I'm choosing D

1.16.d reads "All loose equipment (e.g., bats, gloves chairs, etc.) must be kept in the dugout or in a clearly marked dead-ball area."

I am not sure the answer but I was under impression if you were red shirting you could participate in practice and be in uniform, but if you play you lose your redshirt. I have seen cases in football where a redshirt runnning back is in uniform and on the sideline and is brought in late in the year due to injuries to starters. Based on this I don't know why he couldn't warm up a pitcher if he is uniform, since he is in uniform, but I expect this is a conference issue.
