If I recall correctly, what the coach said is that he hasn't and wouldn't play a first year player more than 4 games unless first discussed with the parents and player. However, the 4 game rule does not apply to any post-season games, so a first year could play 4 regular season games, then play in a post-season and yet retain his eligibility for a 5th year.

It's mind bending how much more complicated college coaching has become with NIL, the transfer portal, having to be cognizant of the 4 game rule etc. etc.

Author: sparman [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 19:38:25 08/17/25 Sun I applaud the coach's forthrightness. But I would expect that any player who thinks he is good enough to play a lot as a freshman would elect to go elsewhere.
