Yeah, in MLB/NFL/NBA it’s called “Tanking”.
I will be surprised if they stay.
They talked about a Sophomore QB that was expected to red shirt but will now play. They COULD play him 4 games, then put in someone else for 4 games and red shirt all three. Or, they could go ahead and play the Sophomore this year, red shirt him NEXT year since the started this year is coming back.
Like any new rule or law, there are unintended consequences.
To me, this isn’t good for the game.
Kansas State once redshirted an entire senior class. They went to a bowl the next year … then returned to being Mildcats.
