Wow, that's big.
Do you have everyone play in September, then shut down the kids that aren't ready to contribute...
or save kids until the end of the year when injuries shorten the roster.
Stagger them...Interesting. Also means you could bolster depth by making redshirts eligible to play the last three or four games of a season. That sure shakes things up.
Calling the shot on this unintended consequence - between this and the transfer thing, you will see more transfers in football.
I suspect you don't see many transfers in football because there's no college level film on developmental players. Why lock up a roster spot on a kid that you haven't seen perform recently.
Now, those kids will have some film for other coaches to assess.
Because he doesn't want to be there/believes he can go some place better.So let's say a kid plays in 4 games his freshman year and the coach then informs him after the season he is going to redshirt him
The kid disagrees
He wants to transfer and the coach can't block him
He still has to sit a year. So either way - he's sitting for a season.
Why go through the headache of transferring?

It's not the same situation. The player will have more options because they are a better known quantity at the college level.Then that's the same situation we were in before this rule change. Also - a coach isn't required to play redshirt candidates, so a kid who wants to transfer may have some live game film, none, or somewhere in between. He's still going to sit a year. I can't imagine there will be a big upswing in transfers unless the next pillar falls that says they won't have to sit.

The increase in options is going to matter.

That will almost certainly be true in some cases.On the flip side, getting *any* playing time might mitigate a transfer for a young player.
Would have Dino played Devito last year if this rule was in place last year? Was he ahead of Mahoney on the depth chart when Dungey went down? Curious how that would have played out last year with our bowl hopes in the balance. If he plays 4 to finish a season can he practice for the bowl and then not play a bowl?
I think had this rule been in place we would have asbolutely seen Devito.Would have Dino played Devito last year if this rule was in place last year?

Asbolutely.
I agree there will be an uptick in transfers, but not so much because there'll be college film of players. There will be more transfers because more guys will recoup a redshirt year. Think about all the players Syracuse has burned redshirts on who, looking back, only played in a few games, or had a little run on special teams? Guys who used to have a year burned early in a season doing scrub work will now get that as a redshirt year. That means more redshirts, and more redshirts mean more graduate transfers, as guys will have put in their 4 years and graduate with a year of eligibility.Calling the shot on this unintended consequence - between this and the transfer thing, you will see more transfers in football.

Good call, that also all matters.I agree there will be an uptick in transfers, but not so much because there'll be college film of players.
