According to the article, the proposal is that a redshirt can play four games PER SEASON without losing a year's eligibility. Does this mean that someone could play four games this year and have four years eligibility left, then play four games next year and still have four years eligibility left, then play four games the year after and still have four years eligibility left, and so on? I know its absurd, and it could just be poor wordsmithing by Andrea.
Here's another suggestion: Why not give each player 48 games of eligibility, excluding postseason games, the game the player got hurt in and any game the player doesn't play in. That's the equivalent of four regular seasons. It would do away with the need for asking for a fifth (or sixth or seventh) year of eligibility. So if a player gets hurt in the fourth game of his freshman year, only three games would count and he would still have 45 games of eligibility.
