NCAA proposing major changes to eligibility rules, including age limits The proposal eliminates the ability for athletes to regain seasons of eligibility through redshirts (even for medical reasons) and waivers.

Under a proposed NCAA eligibility model, athletes would receive five full years beginning at their 19th birthday or high school graduation, whichever comes first. No redshirts, waivers, or exceptions, outside of maternity leave, military service, or religious missions.

Artur Sitkowski was playing QB at Illinois in 2022, a student assistant in 2023 and now he's their QB coach (he was co-QB coach last year but now it's all his).

That's a hell of a fast rise for a young coach at a pretty good P4 program πŸ“ˆ

UCLA and USC threatened to leave the PAC-8 if the conference didn’t bring in Arizona and Arizona State in the late 1970’s.

One of the main reasons is teams split ticket revenue in conference game, so teams with big stadiums were targeted by the bigger conference to bring in more revenue.
