Years of Scholarship Money if Red Shirted

Schollys are always year to year, one year renewable, but most coaches will honor the scholarship for all 5 years if a player redshirts.

Under the new rules are redshirts going to count toward the 35 man roster?

Additonal question:
I know scholly's are renewed on an annual basis.
What would cause a coach not to renew a scholly other than grades, integrity, ethical issues.

I would also assume performance is high on the list. But what constitutes good performance versus poor perfromance for an incoming Freshman.

Then on top of that what if the incoming freshman gets RS.

What happens the next year?

Thanks

As discussed scholarships are renewed on a yearly basis. Most coaches won't let you go unless you have not done your due diligence in the classroom or on the field.

However, some coaches will let you know at the end of each season whether you "fit" into the plans for the next year. That usually gives the player an opportunity to make a move without the coach losing face. From what I have seen, coaches like to eliminate those that bring negativity to the program, they are the first to go.
I am not sure if the roster limit doesn't count redshirts. It doesn't count in the 11.7 for compliance. The redshirt process should always be used as a benefit to the player and his best interests, not the coach. Some have abused redshirt.

Coaches can only redshirt what his budget allows. It's a select process, you can't have 10 redshirt players sitting on the bench. Larger programs (especially state schools) would have larger redshirt #'s because it is affordable if you have in state players. This is the issue the NCAA has had for roster stacking. Giving larger scholarships will eliminate that practice. JMO.

I'm pretty sure a rs would not count against roster limit, but it could be a bit tricky as some players are with the team & available for PT, but become a rs if they never entered a game.

Thanks very much

One more thing.
Redshirted players are not counted until AFTER season is over.
Some players are given options to redshirt before season. I always suggest strong consideration. This way you don't have a coach ruining your options by giving you one extra at bat or inning and waste a year of eligibility.

The new scholarship rules are going to prompt some changes in this area. While some schools may have rountinely paid for a fifth year I don't think they're going to do that any longer. My guess is a lot of out-of-state recruits, who are genererally receiving larger scholarships, will now be told that the school cannot pay for a fifth year. Of course this will vary depending on the size of the scholarship, the expected contribution the player could make during a fifth year, and what else the coach has on the bench. I think a lot of underperforming players, especially pitchers, are going to be told there is no money for them. Because of the roster cap, some of them will be told that there is no longer room for them.
