NCAA’s Five-Season Rule Aims to End 'Game Five-itis' and Streamline Rosters

NCAA’s Five-Season Rule Aims to End 'Game Five-itis' and Streamline Rosters

The NCAA cabinet approved allowing players five years to play five seasons (with an age limit), a change coaches like NC State’s Dave Doeren say will end the roster-management leverage created by the 2018 four-game redshirt rule and the post-NIL/transfer portal era. It simplifies planning by keeping more healthy players eligible, potentially altering development timelines for players like MJ Morris and C.J. Bailey, and should broadly ease roster decisions across football (and impact-adjacent sports) while preserving a clear path to degrees.

NCAA adopts 'five-for-five' rule, ending redshirts across college sports

NCAA adopts 'five-for-five' rule, ending redshirts across college sports

The NCAA approved a blanket five-year clock: athletes have five years to play five seasons, to be completed within five years of high school graduation or turning 19, whichever comes first, with limited exceptions for religious missions, maternity leave, and military service. Redshirts effectively end and the change aims to close waivers and lawsuits that stretched eligibility to six or seven years, potentially altering football development and roster composition while also tightening basketball eligibility by closing international loopholes. Current student-athletes and future prospects face transition rules, including a July 31 deadline for hardship waiver requests and varying application of the new model for cohorts through 2027.

NCAA moves toward five-year eligibility, phasing out redshirts

The NCAA moved closer to allowing student-athletes up to five years of eligibility, potentially eliminating redshirt seasons. The plan would start the eligibility clock after age 19 or high school graduation and would require schools to cover up to 10 years of tuition to complete a degree if a student leaves, with current 2025-26 athletes exempt; the Division I Cabinet will discuss the proposal at its May 22 meeting before a final decision.

NCAA Proposes Five-Year Eligibility Window, Eliminates Waivers

The NCAA is floating a sweeping eligibility reform: a five-year window to compete from the time a student turns 19 or graduates high school, whichever comes first, with no waivers or redshirts except for limited cases. The proposal, discussed by a committee next week, could take effect as soon as this fall and aligns conceptually with President Trump’s executive order, while potentially reducing avenues for lawsuits over extra years.

NCAA Eyes Five-Year Eligibility with Age Cap and Stricter Redshirt Rules

The Division I NCAA Cabinet is weighing a proposal to grant student-athletes five full years of eligibility, starting from their 19th birthday or high school graduation, whichever comes first, with a hard age limit and strict redshirt/waiver restrictions limited to a small group of outliers (maternity leave, military service, religious missions). If approved, the rule could roll out as soon as fall 2026 in phases, and would seek to protect current players while addressing past waiver use and related political discussions around extending eligibility.

NCAA Mulls Five-Year Eligibility With Age Threshold, Scrapping Redshirts

The NCAA is weighing a sweeping eligibility overhaul that would grant five years of varsity eligibility once players turn 19 or graduate high school, with no redshirts or waivers and only narrow exceptions (maternity, military service, religious missions). The change could start as soon as Fall 2026 and would be phased to protect current athletes; questions remain about whether players in their final season would receive an additional year under the new policy.

Tennessee Football Update: Nico Iamaleava's Redshirt Decision and UConn's Response

Freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava made his mark for Tennessee football, throwing for 86 yards and his first career touchdown in a 59-3 victory over UConn. Despite limited playing time this season, Iamaleava has impressed his coaches and teammates with his preparation and performance. The question now is whether he will redshirt or continue playing in the remaining games, as he is one game away from the four-game limit for redshirting.

Ohio State's Freshman Carnell Tate Shines, Ryan Day's Hot Seat, and a Strong Win over Maryland

Ohio State's Freshman Carnell Tate Shines, Ryan Day's Hot Seat, and a Strong Win over Maryland

In Ohio State's win over Maryland, only three true freshmen saw playing time, with Carnell Tate being the first to use up his redshirt eligibility. Less than half of Ohio State's scholarship freshmen have played in any game this season, the fewest since the NCAA changed the redshirt rule in 2018. The Buckeyes' slow start and history of struggling in Ross-Ade Stadium may limit the freshmen's playing time in the upcoming game against Purdue.

"Michigan Football's Freshman Firepower Ignites Blowout Victory over Minnesota"

Three true freshmen, wide receiver Karmello English and defensive linemen Cameron Brandt and Trey Pierce, burned their redshirt by appearing in their fifth game of the season during Michigan's dominant victory over Minnesota. The Wolverines' coaching staff has been rotating in backups and depth players as they continue to pull away in games, providing valuable experience for the young players. Wide receiver Semaj Morgan is showing promise, while Brandt continues to make an impact on the defensive line. The backups are expected to see more playing time in the upcoming game against Indiana.

Michigan's Joey Baker Applies for 6th Year of Eligibility, Leads Wolverines to NIT Victory.

Michigan's Joey Baker, a graduate transfer, has announced that he will petition for another year of eligibility, which would be his sixth in college. Baker was allowed a fifth year due to the NCAA's COVID-19 waiver, and he has played in all 33 games for Michigan this season, averaging 16 minutes. His redshirt application will have to be approved by the NCAA, but Michigan head coach Juwan Howard is hopeful that Baker will be able to return next season.
