CLEMSON — Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney likes the new rule that allows players to play in the postseason without counting against their eligibility, but he has an even better idea: eliminate redshirts altogether and let players have five years to play.
Players can play in as many as four games and still redshirt. In August, however, the NCAA announced a blanket rule (17.11.6.2 Annual Exemptions) that will exempt postseason games from counting toward a player's four allotted games in a given season. The new rule went into effect immediately for the 2024 college football season.
