The proposed redshirt rule change appears to be rolling towards reality. That is going to change the way the Nebraska football team and every other major college program does business.
This is a rule change that has been a few years in the making. The difference this year appears to be the widespread appeal.
Previously, coaches were the biggest proponents. College administrators and player advocates hadn’t gotten on board yet.
Those groups appear to indeed be on board now. Mitch Sherman of ESPN did an informal poll at the NCAA Convention and he found people that appeared to want this rule and want it now.
