"UCLA's football team appeared to have a full roster of players at its disposal Monday after the Bruins reached the four-game threshold for redshirting and the halfway point of the 30-day window for entering the transfer portal following the dismissal of coach DeShaun Foster. Interim coach Tim Skipper said no player had informed him of an intention to redshirt or transfer, though there's still time to mull those decisions before the Bruins (0-4 overall, 0-1 Big Ten) face No. 7 Penn State (3-1, 0-1) on Saturday afternoon at the Rose Bowl."
"Giving any player considering such a move pause might be the situation at Virginia Tech. An attorney tweeted that he was representing a redshirting Hokies player whose decision, in the eyes of the school, constituted " 'opting out' and fraudulent misrepresentation under the NCAA's bylaws, justifying immediate termination of scholarships and revenue-sharing payments under the House settlement. Redshirting is a standard practice to preserve eligibility, not voluntary withdrawal from a program, and schools cannot void revenue-sharing payments on pay-for-play grounds.""
UCLA reached the NCAA four-game redshirt threshold and the midpoint of the 30-day transfer portal window after coach DeShaun Foster's dismissal. Interim coach Tim Skipper reported that no player has informed him of an intention to redshirt or enter the transfer portal, though decisions can change before the fifth game. Once a player appears in a fifth contest, redshirt eligibility is lost. A separate situation at Virginia Tech involves an attorney claiming representation of a redshirting player and a dispute over whether that action constitutes opting out. UCLA continues installing defensive schemes under coordinator Kevin Coyle while preparing to face No. 7 Penn State.
