I like the idea. I've always thought it would be interesting for football to just implement a system where you get 5 years to play 48 games plus any post season/bowl games. That way coaches could put a freshman in right away to gauge his readiness without burning a redshirt. This would essentially do the same thing.
Coaches who don't get their teams to bowl games would be singing the blues...if bowl games were included and they didn't get to give a youngster more playing time and still red shirt. However, no fans could complain about a "meaningless bowl game..." Although, it would be a bummer if a kid got a serious injury or blew out a knee playing in that bowl game. It's an interesting concept that probably isn't ready for prime time though.
Agree with giving them 5 years. With declining football numbers due to specialization and/or concussions I bet we see 5 years of eligibility sooner rather than later.Let a kid play in a bowl game w/o burning his RS. That makes sense. Go much further and just give them 5 years.
