Dumb question that didn't fit anywhere so I made a new thread

Can someone explain to me redshirting on a sports team? I have a general jist, I think, but it's escaping my memory right now.

    knelson - I'm not sure that you're correct about the clock ticking part. I know that in Div 3 I get 4 years of eligibility, but since I did not start swimming until my soph. year (this year) I still get another year of eligibility even if I swim the full 3 years. So I could technically go into grad school and swim for a year and still be eligible (not sure if I have to go to grad school at my undergrad to do this or not...) or at least so says the NCAA guy at our school. He lectured us before our first meet. Now I just have to avoid developing a personal following...lol
