## Resource

The NCAA just flipped the script on redshirt rules, giving every D-I athlete five years of eligibility—starting now—as long as they enroll by 19. Seniors still keep their redshirt if unused. This means athletes like Ella Parker, Brisco Smith, Yaak Yaak, and Caya Smith can now extend their careers, recover from slow starts, or rebuild after injuries—all while maximizing their college impact. It’s a game-changer for development, flexibility, and opportunity at the highest level. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
