I ran across this article on the NCAA site. A 14 week season would allow for two bye weeks but would push the season one week earlier.
The redshirt change is interesting - allowing athletes to play in a limited amount of games without burning a year.
The one outcome I'm most curious about is the size of football staffs; that's going to be looked at, too. This is akin to scholarship limits issues (they went from unlimited, down to somewhere near 100, to the current 85) in that the size of staffs are growing, with the unintended (maybe) effect of taking coaches off the market and stashing them in various "advisor" roles. Plus it gives the "Haves" a competitive advantage. They've sort of done this in Men's basketball (back in the 1990s).
