As amateurism and walk-ons have essentially become things of the past in college sports, redshirts could also soon be a part of the history of college sports.
The NCAA has recently pondered a new "5 in 5" rule, which would allow athletes in every sport five years of eligibility instead of just four years with the ability to redshirt and play in limited games. Although there's reportedly been a hold-up in the rule becoming official, Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables on Tuesday said he believes it's a change that's still for sure coming to college sports.
