Request For: College All Sports
Request Title: Redshirt adjustment
Description
The game already automatically redshirts any underclassman who doesn't play regardless of whether the coach marks them as redshirts or not. I propose to extend that to any player who plays in 4 games or less (or some relatively equivalent number of downs).

With the 65 man roster limit (I am not in any way suggesting this be increased in this proposal) it is not uncommon to have a player go down for a game or 2 forcing the team to either pull a redshirt or play with just the starters and suffer the reduced performance. Especially for the teams facing this decision for 1 or 2 day injuries, or during the game when the injury occurs, loss of a year of eligibility for a decent non-star player is harsh.

The changes to PT demands will likely make the impact of losing these redshirt years even bigger as is the cost of losing a game that might have been won by not playing with a backup (your team the next season may be much worse off due to transfers).

Admin Notes
I'll note that not all sports track games played (football for example), so this would be quite a major effort to implement

Football tracks DP. Could using that be used with a reasonable effort? Or are you able to differentiate by sport with reasonable effort?

If not then the idea seems to be a no go.
