I still don't get your objection.It's been pretty standard practice for coaches to meet with players before a season to discuss a redshirt. I can see this still happening even with the new rule - perhaps to a lesser degree.
If players aren't required to sit 1 year upon transferring, this all may be moot. Unless there are other rules/requirements imposed by a conference. In that instance a player could lose the rs that he could have used as his "sit" year.
I just hope we don't see it used as a punishment for transferring players.
Scenario | Current Rule | New Rule | outcome |
Kid plays 1 game, then transfers | Has to sit out one year, then can play three | Has to sit out one year, then can play three | No change |
Kid plays 4 games, then transfers | Has to sit out one year, then can play three | Has to sit out one year, then can play three | No change |
Kid plays 5+ games, then transfers | Has to sit out one year, then can play three | Has to sit out one year, then can play three | No change |
Kid plays 0 games, then transfers | Has to sit out one year, then can play three | Has to sit out one year, then can play three | No change |
