What might have been of Mason Rudolph’s career if the four-game redshirt rule had been passed in 2014?
Ultimately Mike Gundy, with Mason Rudolph’s blessing, pulled the redshirt off his prized freshman quarterback with just three games remaining.
It worked out.
But imagine if there was no decision. Imagine if Gundy could have played Rudolph for those final three games, won Bedlam and still preserved the Oklahoma State quarterback’s redshirt.
That’s the new reality after the NCAA Division I Council passed a rule change Wednesday that allows players to appear in up to four games without losing a season of eligibility.
