College football has gone the way of the transfer portal and NIL movements. Not to mention redshirts, eligibility battles, COVID-years, and other waivers that can be filed in attempts to return to school.
The NCAA has done away with this under the new "five-for-five" rule and Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano is in favor.
Rutgers opened up training camp this week and Schiano was asked how this new rule impacts the use of younger players.
"I think it's great," Schiano said. "What you use to have to worry about was, if we have a game where we're in the lead by a lot, we'll get them in there maybe to get some playing time, but then are we using up possible opportunities?"
In the past, coaches would be able to use players in up to four games before burning a year of eligibility. Now, the rule states that players will get a single, five-year window that begins at the time of college enrollment of the year after the athlete's 19th birthday.
