I think that it is an unfortunate consequence of the BCS system. At Alabama, Saban does not promise anything but an opportunity to compete. I think he helps those players who are unsatisfied with their playing time to transfer where they may have better opportunities. As far as medical redshirts, the kids remain on scholarship but no longer play. If the kids don't progress, then their scholarship may not be renewed. This is a cruel reality.

The new SEC rules allowing only 25 LOIs per year and the fact that the SEC will oversee the medical redshirts should mean greater fairness for the student athlete. All coaches will now have some oversight as to their roster management.

I guess if you are substantially under the 85 you can take over the 25 if you have EEs in the middle of the year.

If a scholarship is pulled before a kid starts school, I say that isn't a chance to compete. It all depends on what a kid is told.
