Yet, when the 4 game participation rule was passed last year for football, it seemed like a good way to balance the interests of the players and the universities by allowing athletes to get a bit of experience without losing an entire year of eligibility.&nbsp; Unfortunately, from what you are seeing this year, the inadvertent side effects appear to be reaching epidemic proportions.&nbsp; In the past few weeks, we have had&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college-football\/2019\/09\/23\/transfer-rule-deriq-king-houston-extra-year-eligibility\">players at Houston<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/ncaaf\/2019\/10\/05\/rutgers-players-redshirting-just-sign-of-times-college-football\/3882512002\/\">players at Rutgers<\/a>&nbsp;decide to sit out starting in the middle of the season.&nbsp; Players are deciding after a \u201cpoor\u201d start to the season, a mid-season coaching change or a potential coaching change, that they should \u201cstop\u201d playing until the following year so as not to \u201cwaste\u201d a year of eligibility.&nbsp; This leaves the team and interim coaches in a really difficult situation where players they were relying on now have the ability to decide not to be part of the team.&nbsp; I am sure that this problem will only grow and ultimately coaches and universities will have to figure out a reasonable (and legal) way to prevent this from happening in the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college\/2019\/10\/08\/redshirt-rule-midseason-transfers-reaction\">UPDATE OCTOBER 8, 2019: NOW EVEN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED IS COVERING THIS SAME ISSUE!!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NCAA redshirting rules is causing many unanticipated consequences.
