9 game redshirt rule ???

[TilloDwg]

WTF ?

College football coaches recommend allowing players to play up to 9 games and use redshirt

Tuesday's recommendation is not an official NCAA proposal but will be put in front of NCAA committees.

Ridiculous. Just go to 5 years eligibility. Heck we’ve got a lot of 6-year players even with the current rules.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

This seems like the total opposite that coaches would want.

Exactly. 5 year clock from the player's high school graduation. After that, too bad, even if he was hurt some or just wasn't good enough to get into games.

Or install an age limit. Grown men shouldn't be playing with 18 year olds and 25-26 year old men shouldn't be at frat parties with 18 year old girls.
Call it the Mormon rule. They've been winning off 26 year olds for years and years.

They did 9 games for a specific reason. And I like it...

FBS coaches' vote favors 9-game redshirt rule

FBS coaches voted unanimously Tuesday to adjust the redshirt rule to allow players to participate in up to nine games while preserving a full year's eligibility in the sport.

A number of coaches pushed for a more expansive approach -- a full five years of playing time in a five-year window. However, concerns about potential litigation in the wake of some controversial eligibility rulings, chief among them Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss -- led the group to the nine-game compromise.

So a P4 starter could be rested for the 3 weakest opponents and still be considered a redshirt. Or if you’re 6-3, not making the playoffs anyway, you just bench all of your starters and you get a whole extra year of eligibility for your whole entire roster. (Granted, if you could pay and keep them all another year)

That’s why they need to just go to 5 years. If you step on the field at all, that’s 1 year. No exceptions or waivers.

I love how they label the Chambliss ruling as controversial. There was absolutely nothing in the current guidelines that should’ve allowed him to play, and just because OM fans would’ve loved to get another year out of him, it doesn’t make the decision controversial

How so? He’s only played 3 seasons. NCAA is going to lose this case.

Because the current rules don't say anything about how many seasons he actually played. He was redshirted in '21, he was on an active roster in '22 and '23, he broke out in '24, and then he blew up at OM in '25. His 5 years are up

Unless I'm mistaken, the only chance he has is to convince someone that either '22 or '23 should've been a medical year which at least seems like a case of revisionist history at this point

Wow! Crazy that guy couldn’t even get on the field for 3 years in Div II. I still bet a Mississippi judge gives him an injunction & then he can just drop the lawsuit in December.

He’s claiming he had some Tonsillitis in freshman season and appeared in only 2 games.

Let them play forever….no cap on age or years in ‘college’. It’s basically professional football anyway.

6 to play 5

If my memory is correct, they reason that was used to prohibit high schoolers and young collegiates from declaring for the NFL draft was that they were not physically ready. These subtle shifts are gonna make that argument null
