Great rule change. Happened to a Troy LB back in the day. I forget what the cutoff was, but he played a few snaps in garbage time one year, and had to appeal to get his 5th year of eligibility. Had to sit out a few games his senior year to start the season.

When I first saw the title of the thread, I thought teams were being REQUIRED to play everyone at least 4 games. Like Pop Warner or Pee Wee League rule that requires participation by all the players.
I like the rule, but 4 games is 1/3 of the season. Seems a bit much.

4 games any part of season except bowl games. That burns red shirt

Except bowl games? That dosn't make sense. With all the players deciding not to play in bowl games that are going to the draft that is a game you should let the young players play in.

I found it. The no bowl thing only applies to mid-year enrollies. So a player cannot graduate early and come in in January, play the bowl game, and redshirt.

Great for the fact that if a QB or something gets injured, you can play a backup who is redshirting without him losing a year.
And of course blowouts.

Excellent. The easy scrub games ( Presbyterian, Eastern Michigan, Western Illinois, Texas A&M ) should be like freshman games.

Not really.
Every single play of each game is already broken down, charted, and each position's performance on the down analyzed.
But I do agree that it makes more sense to make the determination based on the number of games played.

I don't know why the NCAA doesn't just let everyone play 5 years. What difference does it really make?
