Eligibility Changes? Five Years to Play? No Letter of Intent?

“In one of the more notable potential changes, athletes in all sports could participate in up to a certain amount of contests during a sports season while still preserving their redshirt,” Dellenger wrote. “Such a policy is only currently permitted in football and wrestling. In football, for instance, a player can play in up to four regular season games and still preserve his redshirt season (the NCAA recently updated this rule to exempt all postseason competition from the four-game policy).”

If the policy is changed, to reflect what football and wrestling already do, sport-specific NCAA committees will have to determine how many contests a player in each sport can participate in before burning a redshirt, per the report.

“Other notable changes include what documents describe as a ‘new signing model’ with the elimination of the National Letter of Intent,” Dellenger wrote. “The “core benefits” of the National Letter of Intent will be incorporated into the institution’s athletics financial aid and scholarship agreements, according to the document.

“Similar recruiting rules tied to the National Letter of Intent will continue with the signing of school aid agreements. They end a prospect’s recruitment. For instance, all communication with the signed prospect and family members must end, and the prospects are prohibited from signing more than one aid agreement prior to enrollment.”
