Mike Cook Still Waiting

Postby BYUfan1 » Thu Aug 14, 2008 7:44 am

Pittsburgh guard Mike Cook is still waiting to see if he will be granted a redshirt year from the NCAA. If he is not granted the extra year, his college career is over.

Two years ago, the NCAA raised the maximum amount of a team's games a player applying for a medical redshirt can participate in from 20 to 30 percent. Cook was injured last season in Pitt's game against Duke which was Pitt's 11th of 37 games, which would put Cook at 29.7 percent. However, the NCAA does not count NCAA Tournament games and counts only one conference tournament game. Pitt played four conference tournament games and two NCAA tournament games, meaning Cook played in 11 of 32 games, or 34.3 percent.

Mike Cook is not waiting any longer. The NCAA denied him an extra year of eligibility.
