Might as well just give players 5 years at this point.

I’m old enough to remember when we burned Travis Daniel’s redshirt to play one defensive series…

Why are we creating a system where 18 year olds need to compete with 23 year olds. Pretty ridiculous.

If 18 is year 1, then 22 is year 5

I’ll play. Top prospects can reclass, so there could be 17 year olds playing against 23 year olds who have medial redshirts.

When Travis Daniels burned his redshirt to play in the 2001 SEC Championship game for LSU, he said, "
I play for the name on my helmet, not the name on the back of my jersey". And no mention of money in his statement

Its actually 4 games + BG doesnt count now

Wondering if this is 9 games + BG doesnt count or just any 9 games

Either way, just give everyone 5 years, ridiculous

All one-offs. Vast majority will be a team of 18-22 year olds. Nice try

Interviewer: So, I see here you just graduated, DA U huh?

QB2: yes sir. been at it for a while, but kept my head down and just kept griding it out.

Interviewer: so, other than football at LSU, AUB, UF, ULL, Kent St, Boise St, and Miami, what else have you done for the last 15 years while in college?

QB2: making shite happen at every stop!

Interviewer: ok, are you wanting the morning shift drive-thru or lunch shift?

College coaches voted on this; it was about half of them. It still needs to be put before the rules committee, and they have to vote for the change.

It would be basically saying they have 5 years of eligibility, so they should probably move it 6 to play 5.

what nonsense. What could be the reason for 9 games and not a full season.
