Jesus christ! It is unreal how this completely false narrative continues to persist. Nothing about sitting out a year has changed whatsoever. All that changed is you can play 4 games and redshirt vs playing none. If you transfer, you still sit out. You sit out the NEXT year, you dont get credit as a sat out year for this year because you redshirted even after 4 games. Did dudes in the previous system who redshirted without playing a game get credit for that as their sit out year? Of course not. The only reason bryant was immediately eligible is because he is a grad transfer. Those rules also haven't changed either.I’m not sure that’s exactly true. What the new rule states, which is kind of what the last rule stated, is that you have five years to play 4. However, now you can use your SITOUT year as your red shirt year as long as you don’t play more than four games.
That’s how I understand it. Basically, any kid who hasn’t played more than 4 games can transfer and play next year immediately.
Its amazing how often I still hear this. Maybe we need to fly a banner about it.
