NCAA’s Five-Year Rule Reshapes College Sports | Oregon Ducks Football News
Description
The NCAA just flipped the script on college eligibility with a bold “five-for-five” rule—athletes now get five full seasons to compete, can play in more than four games while still earning a redshirt year, and automatically qualify for medical redshirt if needed. Coaches are scrambling to adapt, but Oregon’s Dan Lanning remains unfazed, saying he’s always prioritized elite talent over age—he’ll find a spot for any player who performs at a high level, letting their role grow naturally. For Oregon, known for its top-tier recruiting, this change may not disrupt their strategy, as they’re likely to stay younger overall. Other programs might lean into veteran-heavy rosters, but Oregon’s reload approach could look different—and maybe even more effective—in this new era.
