Southern Conference rejects redshirt liberalization yet allows NIT play
The Southern Conference rejected any loosening of the anti redshirt rule while voting 81 to permit its teams to compete in the National Invitation Tournament in New York. The amendment, supported by William and Mary and by coaches’ pleas, keeps the four-year eligibility rule with a possible fifth year only for injury or military service. Davidson supported the amendment but warned about classroom time. The conference also moved to limit grants in aid to two years and set March 1 as the start date for golf and tennis seasons.
