ATLANTA -- It's rare when a rule change in the NCAA has the overwhelming support of nearly all of the coaches but it appears that way with the new redshirt rule.
Last month, the NCAA Division I Council that will allow student-athletes to play in four games in a football season but still be eligible for a redshirt season. Previously, as soon as a player played a down, he was ineligible for a redshirt season unless a medical issue arose.
The rule goes into place right away but if it were in place last season, LSU could have done some interesting things.
