New NCAA rules for football eligibility

[wheels002]

They have made two new rules and they actually make sense.

First a player who wishes to transfer can transfer to any school without permission from their previous school. So no more block lists and stuff like that.

The next rule I really like. A player can now play in up to 4 games and still redshirt that season.

Good.

I cant help but wonder if we would have seen McCaffrey last year had these rules been in place then.

Do they still have to sit out a year?

What was the rule before? Were they allowed in any games at all or was it a number less than 4?

In a game for one play = redshirt burned

The only exception was if they got injured and played in less than a quarter of the season's games. Then they could get a medical redshirt.

Yes you still have to sit out a year of transferring for now. Although they are looking at giving every player the ability to transfer once without sitting out but they havnt passed that yet.

I'm not sure how I feel about the new 4 game rule. Essentially everybody can play 4 games then the coaching staff can red-shirt a bunch of players. I wonder if there is a deadline to declare. Some kid that is used sparingly and only gets in 4 games through week 10 could effectively be red-shirted.
