I would love this rule. Herman mentioned earlier in the year that if the rule was in effect in 2017, guys like Kobe Boyce, Andrew Beck and Montrell Estell would have played this year.

I am in favor of changing the current rule, but I think 4 games would be too much. 2 games + a potential bowl game seems right to me. The bowl game obviously because of the growing number of early NFL departures. 2 games would also let you cope with depth problems in case of injuries, without giving them essentially 1/3 of the season as playing time.

It woyld nenefit Texas, at least for now. We are playingbway too msny true freshmen right now and it's hurting on the backend. This may allow them to play early, but hopefully still stay through their Senior year.
