Suspension should follow a post game review by officials and should be for the next game and not the current one. It is going to cause more problems than it fixes to do it otherwise.

Textbook hit by Nigel Bradham. Ref who made that call should never be allowed on a field again.

As for the jersey number rule, just called it the “South Bending the Rules” rule. Make the call on a missed FG and a re-kick prevents ND from that embarrassment Bama layed on them.

That video above says it all. Officials are absolutely not going to be able to tell at live speed what was helmet-to-helmet versus shoulder-to-body… they won’t correctly figure out what was breaking up a pass versus a cheapshot when the ball was uncatchable. This will be a disaster.

So now you have to tell the other team when you switch Jersey numbers. How else is Lane Kiffin suppose to win 7 games a year, if they outlaw the only play he’s good at calling?

Good thing deflated football’s wasn’t on the list.

#duke, stop pimping your re-blog crap on CFT please. There are other multimedia methods for promoting what you do. If it’s good enough, people will find it and frequent it.

I like what #scalpem… suggests. My fear with this is that officials “have a new toy to play with”, so they look for opportunities to enforce this new rule instead of just zeroing in on the ones that are already there. I’d hate to see the outcome of a game (or even the following week’s game) influenced by an overly zealous striped shirt.

The game has evolved, and so have the players. Let them play the game……just start paying them. Then, you would see these men complete their degree’s (more often than not), and not see the enticement from the NFL be able to lure them away early. That is a win-win for the everyone. Unfortunately, football is more than just tackling drills. The rule they needed to change, is the amateurism status of players. They should be paid, based on their contribution. The colleges are making millions, without regard to the long-term health of the players. The college should also carry insurance policies on these athletes. I remember Tyrone Prothro breaking his leg, while POUNDING Florida. It was a senseless play call, and that man’s career was ended on that day. Bama made millions that year due to his contribution, and all he has to show for it, is a limp.

how about you just get better at enforcing the rules already on the books?

I think some graphic artist should change the NCAA logo by putting some target circles on it.

Reblogged this on Seminole Rising and commented: Football should be about fundamental tackling--not trying to take someone out. I'd argue defenses would be better if their players focused more on wrapping up and bringing down than laying down the vicious hit. I know we want turnovers, but fundamental tackling stops plays and stops drives. It's a low-risk, low-reward style of play but it is effective. It's also somewhat of a bend-but-don't-break style of play. Make the tackle, don't give up the big play but being selfish. So, for (1) better football and (2) player safety, I think this is good on the NCAA's part.
