Redshirt Rule

A new rule is expected to pass by the NCAA which would allow players to participate in up to 4 games and still retain their redshirt status...

The redshirt rule would replace the standard currently in place to receive a medical hardship. It represents a dramatic change for college football. And it appears to possess significant support. This week at the NCAA convention, student-athletes and administrators voiced approval for the proposal, which previously received the widespread endorsement of coaches.

“I don’t think it’s right for a young man to lose a redshirt over what may be a need for a team, in a competitive situation, to have to find a player to play,” said Miami athletic director Blake James, chair of the DI Council.

“Whether it’s a bowl game or a game late in the season, personally, I struggle with why we would take away the redshirt.”

i could see how this benefits student athletes when the team suddenly has a need and yet the season is nearly over.

I could also see this as a way for coaches who are having a tough season to let more athletes play the last few games and test out the talent for the next season. Giving athletes more game-time reps and really more ability to showcase young talented players.
(a lot goes through a cagey young mind when then sit for a year for the 1st time in their life) This may keep some players on a roster that would have otherwise moved on.

Seems logical....
