Google. Definitely looks like current JR hockey practices will be an issue. hockey may need an exception. There does not seem to be much impact as most sports.

Within 5 years the written exceptions will fill a book.
Why didn’t they just leave it alone? Who are they trying to appease? You go to school and graduate in 4 yrs, maybe five. CoVid is over. You get 5 yrs to compete 4. What was f’ing wrong with that. College sports is a mess an absolute mess. I have completely lost interest in it. It’s sad.
Medical RS were allowing guys to stay 6-8 years
Eliminate Olympic and medical redshirts. Simplify a lot of things.
+1 creates hard and fast rules. With NIL, NCAA is getting sued by countless athletes each off-season for more eligibility; this essentially kills that.
Cowards… save college sports! Set up “minor” leagues like Baseball. You looking for an education and some money, go to college. You want $$$ and just to play ball, go minor leagues.. insane. The NBA and NFL model (pay rookies on potential not performance) kills the sport as we knew it.
How will you convince pro leagues to take on the expense of building a minor league system when they get it for free now? And that would only apply to basketball and football. Not gonna do a thing for any other sport. Lupert, Nicolls, and Richison are gonna keep doing what they do.
I agree in theory, that minor leagues would solve this issue. But, as you said, NFL and NBA have zero incentive to invest in such a thing and it would completely kill the other sports. There's too much money in the current system for anything to really change.
The NBA has a minor league -- the Developmental League.
It contributes next to nothing -- an occasional last man on the bench -- because the NBA's salary structure (salary cap + guaranteed contracts) only enables development on the fringes.
