Would also be nice to save a redshirt on a player forced into action due to team injuries early in the season.

i could see this being an argument, if it weren't for the fact that you can now have 105 players on a team... there's only 22 positions on the field... even with a two deep, that's 44 players... still 61 other options...

this proposal is a terrible idea...

Not happening without collective bargaining agreement and that’s not happening.

They will play all conference games and sit out all the easy out of conference games

I would like it as a coach because now I have 9 games to see what you’re made of.

If you can't tell in 4 than you're not much of a coach.

Need to also make it to where Bowl Games don’t count towards redshirt games


Pretty sure that’s already the rule as of a couple years ago.

How do people not see the reverse of this happening? Star player plays 9 games and decides he doesn’t think team is going to make the playoffs so he shuts it down to transfer to a perceived contender the next season.

9 seems excessive.
Right? Something more than 4 and less than 9. 6/7

Sounds like yet another money grab from the players.


Meanwhile BK got paid 54 million to GTFO, but yes let’s keep complaining about the players commanding their market value.

Why not give them 5 years of eligibility and keep current redshirt rules?
