[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 429659, member: 2426"] They do some crazy things. However, reading the actual text of the rules change, it doesn't leave any room to negotiate. The rule says "In football, a student-athlete may compete in up to four contests in a season without using a season of competition.". I don't see any way that the NCAA can interpret that rule to say that if someone played in three games for a reason other than injury that it still counts as a season of competition. The rationale given on the rules change page is: The NCAA itself is saying that this rule change will help the student-athlete's development and transition to the college game. They also say that it will allow younger SAs an opportunity to play in bowl games. I don't know how much clearer they could be that this rule isn't solely for injuries. They did use the ability to allow more experienced athletes to have less pressure to play through injuries, but that was only one of the arguments used to get this rule passed. [/QUOTE]
