New Redshirt Rule

Postby Muck FcDisney » June 14th, 2018, 3:10 pm

Players can now play up to 4 games w/o burning RS.

Spoiler:
Division I football players are now allowed to play in up to four games in a season while keeping a redshirt and not losing a year of eligibility. The NCAA previously considered a redshirt burned if a player took the field for a single play of live action in any game.

The NCAA announced the change Wednesday. Miami athletic director Blake James, the chairman of the Division I Council that passed the rule change, explains it:

“This change promotes not only fairness for college athletes, but also their health and well-being. Redshirt football student-athletes are more likely to remain engaged with the team, and starters will be less likely to feel pressure to play through injuries. Coaches will appreciate the additional flexibility and ability to give younger players an opportunity to participate in limited competition.”

The American Football Coaches Association, the closest thing coaches have to a lobbying organization, has been pushing hard for this change over the last year or two. So have a bunch of individual coaches, who have painted it as a win for both themselves and players.

“I absolutely would be in favor of that,” Nick Saban told reporters at the SEC’s spring meetings in 2016. “One of the most difficult things for players is they can’t play at all when they’re freshmen to be able to gain a redshirt year. They all want to play.

This would give them an opportunity to play some and would actually enhance their development to some degree. With the numbers we have right now and the number of games we’re playing, you might be able to play a few more players in some of those games. That would help other players on your team as well.”

Previously, the only way players could play in games and not lose a season of eligibility was if they’d gotten hurt and not been able to play in more than three games.

The NCAA’s general rule that players complete their four seasons of eligibility in a five-year calendar period remains in place.


Me likey, especially with so many players coming in, redshirting, playing 2 years, then heading to the NFL.

It makes sense. Especially since it already worked that way in regard to injuries. All a guy had to do was play 4 games, fake an injury, and get a RS. Now they don't have to fake it.

I don't recall any questionable injuries like this, however. :dunno

I don't think he received a redshirt in 2017, medical or otherwise. He will redshirt this year.

Don't know. I was replying to the second part. You said he will redshirt this year. I am just clarifying that he will be sitting out 2018 because he "has to" not necessarily because they "want him to" even though they may have wanted him to for depth and development purposes.

Great move. Although I think they might as well just move it to 5 years of eligibility and just rid of redshirts altogether.

Should help the bigger schools more than small ones. Who gives a shit though. There are way too many rules to begin with just donwhat fraz said and rid yourself of one and all the subset rules that go along with it

I don't like all the rules either. The transfer rule is dog shit and only hurts the economics of a college and in some cases the tax payer.

Let that mother fucker play immediately. Who cares?

I like this rule because it gives coaches more time to prep freshmen for depth late in the season especially when contending for a conference championship and a playoff birth. :2thumbs
