Redshirt
With the NCAA transfer portal, have redshirt rules changed? I understand the following to be the basketball rules:
 * 1) Injured in first half of season.
 * 2) Played less than 1/3 of games.
 * 3) 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)

Extraneous or not
When a McDonald's All-American Game honoree only gets 10 minutes a game as a freshman, is it important to describe which players exercised the COVID exception to stay or transfer in for an extra year. At Kobe Bufkin this content was removed by an anonymous IP. Should I revert?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:11, 20 May 2024 (UTC)


 * It's more relevant to the team season page and those respective players' bios. Its trivial for Bufkin. —Bagumba (talk) 20:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Piping old conference names in infobox.
What is the proper infobox format for conference honors when the conference has changed names? Is this edit correct?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Generally uses the name at the time the award was won. See Wilt Chamberlain and many others. Rikster2 (talk) 23:29, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Referring to the same infobox, When the Midwestern Collegiate Conference and the Mid-Continent Conference existed simultaneously were they both referred to as the MCC?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:27, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I seem to remember the Mid-Continent called the “Mid-Con” Rikster2 (talk) 11:41, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 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 Rikster2 usually 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)

Please be aware that IP 72.228.166.74 has changed the capacities on apparently dozens of stadium and arena pages. I've changed a few back, but I don't have time to undo everything. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 23:04, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
