Appellate Court Upholds NJSIAA's Finding on Redshirt Rule

A New Jersey appellate court has agreed with that state's Commissioner of
Education, who upheld the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association's
(the NJSIAA) denial of his petition for a waiver from the NJSIAA's Eight Semester
Rule. The rule prevents student athletes from participating in a secondary level sport
for a fifth year.

In so ruling, the court disagreed with the petitioner, which had maintained that the
Commissioners decision was arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable, particularly in
light of waivers previously granted by the NJSIAA.
