As you may have heard already the NCAA actually went and made some positive changes this week — maybe even three of them, in fact! It’s a banner day for overwrought bureaucracy.
The big things you’ll want to know:
- Division I teams can’t limit where players are allowed to transfer (though conferences still can choose to). We covered this months back.
- Football players can now participate in up to four games without burning a redshirt.
- Pre-determined conference bowl ties based on recent number of bowl-eligible teams.
Again, we already discussed the first one, and really the third doesn’t affect us much since the ACC will get 11 slots from 2020-25.
