Summary
Is the NCAA eliminating redshirts? Explaining the proposal. What else from the President's executive order may actually happen? Is Miami changing its future QB model after a recent QB commitment?
Episode Description
No more redshirts? Goodbye medical waivers? That is what the NCAA is proposing. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey dive in and discuss the proposed five year eligibility rule. This would eliminate both redshirts and medical waivers, allowing athletes to compete for up to five years starting at their high school graduation or 19th birthday. The guys discuss whether this proposal is a good solution for college athletics or if it will create more issues moving forward?
Then, Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at what else from the President's executive order could actually go into effect in the NCAA. The eligibility rules may have a chance, but could something like a one-time transfer rule or shifting of the transfer portal be put into place in the future? The guys discuss.
Later, the crew narrows the focus from the broad NCAA to one school. Miami recently received a verbal commitment from Rivals' third ranked quarterback of the 2027 class. The Hurricanes have been a school, of late, who has focused on bringing in transfer quarterbacks each year. Could this recent commitment show a change in Miami's future QB model? May teams start to shift away from transfer portal quarterbacks? The guys discuss this and debate whether a team can win a national championship today with a homegrown quarterback.
