Maybe not this year but I expect the rule change will pass, adding to the trend of getting players more college time and thus more paychecks. This year saw Pavia winning a suit for another year by ignoring his JC experience. Chambliss lost his appeal for an additional year and he's suing too. It wouldn't surprise if he wins as well.College football coaches voted unanimously to alter eligibility rules in hopes of expanding redshirt seasons from four games to nine at this week's annual AFCA convention . . .

The unanimous directive from coaches is simply a recommendation. Now, it must go before Division I committees
I see a future where FBS rosters are filled with 24-25 yo players, kind of like BYU teams of old. Changing redshirt rules is just another step. For that matter, why stop at one redshirt season when you can have two or three?
