The governing body extended a COVID-related blanket waiver that expands the roster size from 35 to 40, increases the numbers of players on scholarship from 27 to 32 and allows for 40 official visits, up from the previous number of 25.> <The other important topic that college baseball’s power brokers are expected to tackle in the coming months is the current redshirt rule. In football, a student athlete can appear in four games without blowing a year of eligibility. However, in baseball, a player loses eligibility for a year if he throws a single pitch or has a single at bat. The only caveat would be if the player suffers a season-ending injury the first 25 percent of the season. Baseball is not alone with this frustration, as legendary Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo, [URL='https://www.on3.com/college/michigan-state-spartans/news/tom-izzo-questions-ncaa-on-redshirt-rules-in-basketball-vs-football/']earlier this week[/URL], questioned the difference between basketball and football’s redshirt rules. Currently, student athletes can compete in 36% of the football season without burning a year of eligibility. Should the NCAA eventually make that equivalency the same for baseball that would mean that a baseball player could play in 20 games of a 56-game season and still not lose their eligibility.> [/QUOTE]
