The NCAA will allow fall athletes, including football players, to compete in any number of games this season without it counting as a year of eligibility.
It was a decision approved by the NCAA Board of Directors on Friday after proposal from the NCAA Division I Council earlier in the week.
Quarterback D’Eriq King and linebacker Zach McCloud already extended their college careers one more season beyond what they originally anticipated would be their final one last fall. Both decided to sit out and redshirt after playing four games to remain eligible for one extra year of eligibility.
