NCAA Makes Two Substantial Changes for Division 1 College Football
Two sweeping changes by the NCAA were announced today.
Starting this season, football players can play in up to four games without losing a season of competition
The first major change is that college football players can now participate in up to four games in a season without using up a “season of competition.”
So, if Coach Frost wants to start Adrian Martinez for two games at the beginning of this next season, and two games at the end of next season he will still have four remaining “seasons of competition” for the Huskers.
Council chair Blake James, athletics director at Miami (Florida), said the rule change benefits student-athletes and coaches alike.
