Coaches want to allow players to maintain a redshirt while playing in as many as four games (without any injury stipulation).

I don't know exactly what that means. I know in D1 wrestling there a lot of guys who take a redshirt in other then their freshman year.So that would be 5 years,in school,but competing in four. I know when I was in college,in addition to the 1 year transfer rule,you also had 6 years from the date you first enrolled in school,to use your 4 years of eligibility. A friend of mine started college then,after his freshman year, he took 2 years off to save up money for school. When he came back he decided to go out for soccer. Even though he never played a sport,the NCAA rules said he only had 3 years of eligibilty left.

Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

Meaning everyone would get 5 years of scholarship to play 4 years.

Does this mean that someone could play four games this year and have four years eligibility left, then play four games next year and still have four years eligibility left, then play four games the year after and still have four years eligibility left, and so on? I know its absurd, and it could just be poor wordsmithing by Andrea. Here's another suggestion: Why not give each player 48 games of eligibility, excluding postseason games, the game the player got hurt in and any game the player doesn't play in. That's the equivalent of four regular seasons. It would do away with the need for asking for a fifth (or sixth or seventh) year of eligibility. So if a player gets hurt in the fourth game of his freshman year, only three games would count and he would still have 45 games of eligibility.

There's still the rule that a player essentially has five years to play four unless given a medical redshirt, so it would only make sense to do it once.

That's a unique proposal, but some teams play as many as 15 games (conference championship plus two playoff games) in a year. Also, what would you do if a player had something like nine games left entering a season? Would it be up to the team to decide which nine games?

Teams can play one to three post-season games, so it's difficult to fix a number for those. I'd be in favor of letting the teams decide which games to use the player in. We will get by.
