This week in silly NCAA rules

By Tangotiger, 09:26 AM

See if you can spot the infraction between the 10 and 5 yard lines. 

If you can’t see it, fast-forward to the 50-second mark.  Then, listen to the whole thing by the broadcasters, who do a fantastic job of putting context to this play, about how the coaches themselves in the offseason had wanted this rule in place.  Well, maybe not THIS rule, but presumably something more egregious.  But, you introduce a new rule, you put the officials on the spot, and when you have too many government agencies, uh, too many rules for the officials to apply judgement on, well, you overburden them.
