that's because of mommy and daddy being pussies. other than architecture there is no reason for a person to take over 4 years to graduate.
5 years of eligibility with no redshirt may cause some problems. most players that are good are gone so you could end up with a large sr class of "backups" that just were not good enough to crack the starting lineup. that means signing less than 25 new guys or processing the older guys. you already have enough of that going on.

Good point. I would imagine that the schools would be relegated more scholarships to cover the 5 year span. This rule doesn't really help the guys who are 3 and done or the guys who are very likely to not contribute and ,as of now redshirt. This rule benefits the middle of those 2, which is most of your signing class in most cases. Those guys who could contribute, but we decide to redshirt who just leave after 3 or 4 years anyway.
Let's look at an example. Best example is Jerald Hawkins. This guy may be done after this year. He is a 2 year starter after his redshirt year. Could this guy not have contributed as a true freshman? Maybe he needed to get stronger and maybe he was very raw, but it seems a guy that can turn around and start after the redshirt year could have helped.
Dural is another one. We saw how little he contributed as a redshirt freshman so maybe he just wasn't ready, but he could have had 2 years of limited roles in the offense already coming into this year.
Maybe the logistics would be more complicated than I think, but it's a rule that benefits the players and the coaches IMO.
