New ACC Redshirt Rules Coming?

[GenericYesMan]

This will also keep some kids from transferring. When these kids with these big egos get on campus, they don’t wanna redshirt

It will also have the opposite effect where a kid who's sitting behind someone lights up blowouts and gets calls to transfer and start elsewhere.

Perry may have played this year.

He would have absolutely gotten snaps, he could have gotten into the BC/Duke/ND/Clemson games for sure.

Pretty sure we wouldn't have seen Shirreffs in that PITT game and had Perry performed well, he might've taken the job outright at that point.

We're gonna see guys at schools with 40 career games in...college.

Pretty sure that if Shirreffs came in that game and got a W he would have started against Clemson.

Was a tough spot for a guy to come in off the bench. The one thing that burned me up all year long was Rosier's inability to get a lead so Shirreffs, Perry, whoever could get meaningful reps. Every game was too close for too long for it to happen, so when we NEEDED our backup QB to come in and get meaningful reps, it was a high pressure situation with the opposing D's ears pinned back.

But did they change the rule on what's considered holding?

 

[calinative umstudent]

This would have a big impact on how many players schools bring in on their recruiting classes because Coaches would give a lot of guys redshirts, and obviously that means they'd get an extra year of eligibility, while still being able to make an impact.

So instead of getting 25 per year, it'd be closer to 20 per year.

I think it is stupid, might as well give everyone 5 years of eligibility. Means you can play in all the OOC games and still redshirt. Basically means a Fr QB can play mop-up the 4 games that their team is dominating and still redshirt. It's cool, it gives them experience, but personally I feel like it is kind of cheap.

Huh?

 

[matty1]

Meaning, in this years scenario fpr example, Perry could have played against Pitt, Clemson, and Wiscy (or even 2 playoff games) and still shirt so long as he had never played in a different game. Am I getting that right?

OMG , way are people so obsessed with the "red shirt". if you are any good, 3 years and you are gone... sitting, standing on the sidelines, if Perry is as advertised, he is gone in 3

Lot's of things that the coaches are unanimous on don't happen. If it takes control away from University President's or AD's, it won't happen. If it costs schools more money, it won't happen. Not saying any of those are the case here, as I don't see a huge reason why schools would be against this, off the top of my head, but don't fool yourself into thinking that what the coaches think or want really matters.

And nope.

The NCAA’s Division I Council on Wednesday tabled a proposal that would allow players to compete in up to four games and retain their redshirts. Championed by AFCA executive director Todd Berry, the rule was touted as a necessary change in an era where teams play 14- and 15-game seasons.

The rule would allow redshirting players to replace injured players without personal cost to their careers. Presently, a coach with dwindling numbers at a given position is put in between the rock and the hard place of burning an innocent player’s redshirt or putting players at risk of injury through overuse.

Here’s how the NCAA presented the news:

The Council tabled a proposal that would allow football student-athletes to participate in up to four games per year without using a season of competition. Proponents argue that late-season injuries and other factors often require student-athletes who hadn’t played all season to burn a year of eligibility for a small number of games. Others wonder whether the proposal could be applied to other sports, as well, whether the number of games in the proposal is appropriate, and whether the timing of the four games matters.

It is not clear what opposition exists to the rule, though Big 12 commissioner, Council member and noted fear-mongerer Bob Bowlsby posited in January that teams could, for some unexplained reason, hold their best players back until the final four games of the season.

“I think it’s got a lot of merit,” he said, “but there are some hooks in it. I don’t know how comfortable people are with, suddenly in the last three games and a bowl game, you go from being a guy who’s on the scout team to [a prominent role].”

The proposal is not all dead, as Miracle Max would say. The Council will now turn the tabled proposal over to the Football Oversight and Student-Athlete Experience Committees for discussion and feedback solicitation.
