Combining a couple of threads here.........
Why not have an All Star game for the players that are currently redshirting? Each team in the B1G sends their redshirts to a week long camp from January 2nd to January 9th, with a cap of 12 or 15 individuals per team. East vs. West RedShirt All-Star game! Barry Alvarez coaches the west and Mike Ditka coaches the East........ (insert whatever blue haired mean bastards you want here).
It would give them a chance to show their skills off and motivate them to work hard the last month of the season. And it would give fans a chance to see what talent was behind the scenes all season.
