Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3800647, member: 10"] I can't believe anyone on this board is still talking about redshirts this season. It's been pointed out numerous times in the last couple months that everyone is getting a free year that doesn't count against your 4 years of eligibility. To quote our beloved former Hall of Fame coach, "It's been written about. It's been talked about. Don't shake your --- head." I'll post the article again (I think this is about the 10th time I've done this). [I]NCAA rule-makers previously voted to allow all spring sport athletes and fall sport athletes to maintain a year of eligibility, no matter what portion of their season was impacted by the pandemic. The same rule will apply for any athlete who participates in a sport in the upcoming winter season. Calhoun said the council didn't want athletes opting to redshirt this year because of fears that their seasons might be cut short or otherwise negatively impacted by the pandemic. "We felt it was important to make this decision now so student-athletes had the peace of mind to go into this season and compete," Calhoun told ESPN on Wednesday. "They know they can regain that eligibility and have their clock automatically extended, so they're not taking that chance on the front end if they choose to compete."[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/30116895/ncaa-grants-extra-year-eligibility-all-winter-sport-athletes[/URL] [/QUOTE]
