BOWL GAMES NO LONGER COUNT AGAINST 4 GAME LIMIT

NCAA: Starting today, the NCAA has issued a one-time blanket waiver for FBS schools to exempt postseason participation from the limit of 4 contests a student-athlete may play in without burning their redshirt.

Wish basketball had similar red shirting rules. Say 30% of teams total games regardless of when they are played… Allow for guys to play 10-12 games and still have four years left.

I'm guessing this has something to do with the number of players sitting out or going into the transfer portal before bowl games

Anyone on the UNT roster this might apply to?

How many games did Stone Earle play in? Would like to see that package incorporated into the game plan tomorrow.

Opt outs and portal kids are killing the bowls.  Who wants to follow a team and then travel to a bowl game to watch the JV?  Total BS!

I guess the expanded playoff will change it, but the bowl games just about turned into the equivalent of NFL Pro Bowl.

This simply cannot be true. From what I read on here, losing bowl games is a reason to be fired.
