It’s that time of year when the NCAA passes rule changes to clear up muddy college athletics. In the last few days and weeks there have been several controversial moves that could possibly have a big impact on college football.
As one that doesn’t like to see a lot of changes, I have to admit some are good for the game. Take for example the new rule passed last week that will allow redshirt football players to play up to four games without losing their red shirt status. Under the new rule, if a school finds its depth chart depleted by injuries late in the season, a redshirt player can step in and gain valuable game experience without losing his eligibility.
