This could be a game changer for college football.

If you missed the news Tuesday, the ACC has proposed a new redshirt rule for college football at the 2018 annual Coaches Convention in Charlotte. The rule would change redshirts as we currently know them, allowing players to participate in up to four games, which could be played at any time, while still keeping their redshirt status. If this proposal becomes a rule, teams from across the nation will likely have significantly more depth to play with, particularly late in the season when injuries have taken a toll on rosters.

The proposal could also add some interest in bowl games. Considering the growing trend of likely NFL participants sitting out the postseason, what better time to give young players a chance to show what they can do following a month of bowl practice and after sitting out most of their redshirt season.

According to Max Olson of The Athletic, the proposal has the “unanimous support” of the coaches, claims American Football Coaches Association executive director Todd Berry.

While the coaches ultimately don’t have the final say in the proposal becoming a rule, their support should go a long way in the NCAA potentially making it into a new rule starting as soon as the 2018 season.
