Buffs' Mike MacIntyre in favor of possible change to redshirt rule

The effort to change the redshirt rule in college football is gaining steam, and Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre couldn't be happier.

In Charlotte this week, American Football Coaches Association executive director Todd Berry said coaches at all levels of college football are in "unanimous support" of allowing redshirts to play up to four games without losing their redshirt year.

"I think it's an excellent rule that should help and I think it makes a lot of sense," MacIntyre said. "With the physicality of our game, I think it's an excellent deal. I definitely hope it passes.
