Redshirt: https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources...-opportunities

Permission to contact: https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources...ontact-process

Both appear to be D1 rules only at this point.

Interesting for sure. Really was hoping the redshirt rule would have applied to D2 as well this year.

Re: Redshirt Rules

A couple of things...these rules are for Division I football only right now. Hasn't filtered down to D2 yet, but I don't know if you were insinuating that or not. The redshirt rule is only in the case of a medical or hardship. It's not for a team to play a player for four games then sit them and still keep eligibility. This is really only an increase of two games to the current rule that had been in place for D1 already. As far as a transfer rule, individual conferences can still mandate years that a player must sit if transferring from one conference school to another. Conference rules sometimes are stricter than NCAA rules, so a coach can't stop a permission to contact, but a conference can still say "you will sit out a year and won't receive a scholarship during that year," which is the current rule if you transfer within the MIAA.

This is not the way the Nebraska AD explained the changes on a tv interview. Said that if you had a player you weren't sure was ready yet that you could now play him up to four games to see if he was ready before you decide to red shirt him or not.

That's how it read in the Kansas City Star.
