Makes sense for the regular redshirt rules to align with the medical redshirt rules. I like it. Especially the part about possibly playing in post season games without losing their redshirt.

Poor Blockhead and every other idiot who thinks Sunbelt and Southern conference teams are "D2" thinks this was already the rule.

No, this is a complete rule change: they can play in 4 games (game 1, game 5, game 6, game 11, for example). As long as they don't play in 5 games they can redshirt. See the last paragraph that is bolded (in the original post).

Medical redshirt is the same way. I believe it's either worded as 4 games or it's worded as a quarter of the games.

Its word as a percentage of the season bc it applies to all sports.

I like it bc it sort of goes hand in hand w the small rosters and yearly limits.

Frankly Id much prefer to see the rosters get larger also, like maybe back to 100. Its not fair to force some of these unprepared 18 yoa kids onto the field w some 22 yoa monster who has been on Bammers roids program for 5 years.

If some of the non P5 schools want to stay at 80-85, thats fine. There really needs to be a separate division for them anyway. There is no way FIU or Latech will ever compete against the Power schools.
