College football coaches are worried about some of the rule changes they think may be coming to their sport, but they got a big win Wednesday when the NCAA announced a change that essentially ends the redshirt season in college football.
College football players can now appear in up to four games without using a season of eligibility, the NCAA ruled.
“All coaches are for that,” South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp said earlier this month at the SEC’s annual spring meetings.
The change means first-year players can now get their feet wet in the sport even if coaches are worried they might not be ready to play a full season.
