Here we go. Minor league football is about to begin.

How many programs will die?

Interesting. Have no good reason to be against it. Though not sure of the reasoning for it. They already get 5 years to post 4 years of certified play. Plus, they can extend with medicals for season ending injuries up to a certain amount of play. Plus, a FR can play in 4 games and unlimited post-season time and still maintain the RS status. I get eligibility typically follows the length of time for a degree. Atleast in it's inception probably. Heck, there's guys out there now that's taken 6-7 years to fulfill eligibility, even w/o covid.

I am in favor of the Freshman RS rule though. always thought it was jacked up in certain situations when you had no choice but to burn a RS for just a few plays.

It's already minor league football, it just doesn't cost the NFL any money.

Remember when freshmen couldn't even play varsity?

I don’t mind it, just get rid of the redshirt and give everyone five years of eligibility.

how is this going to apply? Got to think this plus the eventual 100+ man roster is going to mess some rotations up. Transfer portal is going to get even crazier.

That shouldn't have changed. All college sports would benefit from freshmen being ineligible.

Agreed.

People said back then, in the 70s, "it will ruin college football." Maybe it did but did college ball look ruined in the 90s when a freshman named Peyton took over for TN?

Does this mean you have 5 years to play 4 ?

I take it as you have five years to play five.

5 to play 5, I think. School? What school? Sports are tied to school? Since when?

That was not anywhere close to what I posted. I just said college athletics would be better overall if freshmen were still ineligible.

So Peyton shouldn't have been eligible in your mind. You said it should've never been changed and Peyton couldn't have played as a freshman, right?
