2 Minute Timeout: 5 years to play 5 is the answer · The Auburn Undercover Podcast

• 0:00
  This is something I pro I probably
• 0:01
  talked about before here on in this
• 0:03
  platform, but I want to talk about it
• 0:04
  again because on on Tuesday at the
• 0:08
  football coaches convention, the coaches
• 0:11
  uh unanimously proposed to I guess put
• 0:14
  it forth to a vote to move the red shirt
• 0:17
  rule to nine games instead of four.
• 0:22
  I I don't understand it. Just give
• 0:24
  players five years to play five years
• 0:27
  and be done with everything else. No red
• 0:30
  shirts, no sixth years, no seventh
• 0:33
  years, no 26 year old guys playing
• 0:36
  college sports. Just give them five
• 0:38
  years to play five. And if you have an
• 0:42
  injury, it's tough luck. It's
• 0:43
  unfortunate, but that's the world we
• 0:45
  live in. And for years, people lost
• 0:48
  injuries, lost years to injuries because
• 0:50
  they played two 10 minutes too many in a
• 0:53
  season or or one quarter or in some
• 0:56
  cases, they played one snap of a game.
• 0:58
  Um, listen, this is this is getting
• 1:02
  beyond ridiculous.
• 1:04
  We do not need people playing six or
• 1:06
  seven years or eight years of college
• 1:07
  sports. Five years is enough. Let them
• 1:10
  play all five years. And if they play
• 1:12
  every game in five years, that's fine.
• 1:14
  We're already doing that anyway. But
• 1:16
  eliminate this four game, nine games, a
• 1:19
  red shirt, whatever it is. There's no
• 1:21
  red shirts. You're a fifth year. And
• 1:23
  start counting by years and start count.
• 1:25
  stop counting by grades because I'm not
• 1:26
  sure grades really matter anyway. Um,
• 1:29
  and just do away with it. So, um,
• 1:32
  hopefully somebody will come to to some
• 1:34
  senses. I think I think it's the the
• 1:36
  right decision, but four games, nine
• 1:38
  games, whatever it is, just just don't
• 1:40
  worry about that. Just give them five
• 1:41
  years to play five and and be done with
• 1:43
  it. So, we'll see what happens. Uh, go
• 1:45
  check out Bunkers Auburn downtown. Great
• 1:47
  atmosphere, sports bar, TVs,
• 1:50
  entertainment, awesome food. So go check
• 1:51
  them out downtown Bunkers of Auburn and
• 1:53
  tell them we sent you.
