NCAA grants Florida State's Phil Cofer extra year of eligibility

Posted May 25, 2018
The NCAA granted Florida State forward Phil Cofer's request for another year of eligibility. Cofer missed most of the 2015-16 season due to a foot injury. He played in 11 games that season, which was one over the NCAA's limit of 30 percent which would trigger a medical redshirt. The decision means the Seminoles return four starters for the upcoming season. (Associated Press)
