[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 104636, member: 1792"] I sent to several of those games back in the day, enjoyed seeing some of the varsity reserves and scout-teamers play in the early '80s. Currently, even if a player redshirts and doesn't participate on even one varsity snap in a season, participation in a mere JV game would remove the redshirt status and count just as if said player participated in a varsity game. I'd like to see NCAA rules revised so that a reshirted player who does not play in a varsity game could nonetheless participate in two or three JV football games maximum, [I]in one season only,[/I] without costing the redshirt year for varsity participation purposes. For college programs so inclined, bringing back a two- or three-game JV schedule would be (1) a grand way to provide some football action at home during varsity bye weekends, (2) give the scout-teamers and third-stringers some game action, and (3) provide fans a possible look at highly-regarded but otherwise redshirted freshmen. Of course, even if the NCAA ever did loosen the rules in such a way, no doubt there would be plenty of restrictions so that football factories wouldn't schedule junior-college powerhouses and post-high-school prep schools as "audition opportunities." You may now return to your regularly scheduled anarchy.:) [/QUOTE]
