'We'll Have To Consider It': Cam Rising May Be Eligible for a Medical Redshirt and EIGHTH Season of College Football After Suffering Another Injury

We gotta put a stop to this. There are plenty of problems in America right now, but 30-year-olds playing college football is right up there.

Look, I feel bad for Cam Rising. He's a talented quarterback who has had some very bad luck with injuries after already redshirting a couple years at the beginning of his career. But he began playing college football in 2018. The No. 1 song in America when Rising enrolled at Texas was Drake's In My Feelings. College is supposed to last four years and Rising's career started when guys he'd be playing against next season were 11 years old.

I know everyone got a free year in 2020, but somehow that has devolved into players being eligible for seven and eight seasons. Enough is enough.

The rule needs to be that the buck stops at your 24th birthday. Even with medical redshirts and all that, the day you turn 24, you can no longer begin a new season of eligibility. I think that's more than reasonable.

I hope Cam Rising has an outstanding career in whatever he chooses to do when he's done with college football. But we just can't have quarterbacks in their eighth seasons playing against 18-year-olds.
