I believe the NCAA needs to make some changes to this new redshirt rule:
1. Any game missed due to suspension counts as a game played. What's the point in suspending a kid if you are going to give him another year of eligibility late. If they came out in August and said they weren't going to suspend him but were going to redshirt him instead, can you imagine the fallout.
2. If player quits team they are not eligible to redshirt. I don't believe the spirit of the rule was to essentially allow a kid to decide to be a free agent and not loose any eligibility. I believe it was to reward a kid for sticking it out and being loyal to the team.
It is the first you having this rule so they are probably going to make some tweaks. Hopefully they look at these two.
