Or college basketball should adopt the football rule to play 33% of the season and still redshirt. That would be valuable for everyone

Yea I agree with this, never understood why the redshirt rule is so drastically different from football to basketball

Why? Where does it stop? Why don’t they just cut to the chase and let schools hire a professional team. Why even require they attend classes?

I just don’t see why it’s so hard or wrong to give people 4 years of eligibility and that’s it. Medical redshirt if you get hurt and miss a season, and go get a graduate degree to remain a student if you need. But you get 4 years to play.

The norm for college graduates is 4 years of school. It’s not 100%, but it’s the norm. Set your policy to the norm and strictly manage the exceptions as exceptions

4 full years of playing CBB is sufficient....make room for the next group of younger players after that. If after 4 full years of CBB you're good enough to still make $ money playing go for it, otherwise move on to the next chapter.
