ACC proposes adjustment to archaic redshirt rule – CollegeFootballTalk
The ACC is calling for a rule change where a player can redshirt if they play 4 or fewer games regardless of which point during the season they play. I completely agree with this proposal, if they don't adopt this change they should go back to making freshmen ineligible their first year. There is no reason why, for example, Shea Patterson at Ole Miss lost his RS in 2016 for 3 games after Kelly tore his ACL. That is not fair to the kid, the coach, nor the program.
