Notre Dame football players won’t lose a year of eligibility if they play this fall

Ever since the NCAA passed the new redshirt rule that allows a player to play in just 4 games and still retain a year of eligibility, fans of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have developed a solid debate each preseason about how it will go down in South Bend.

That probably won’t matter this season if the NCAA Board of Governors agree to pass a decision made by the Division I Council.

Sources: The NCAA Division I Council decided today that fall sport student-athletes can compete in any amount of competitions this year and it will not count as a season of eligibility.
