New NCAA Rules

The Link

The NCAA’s Football Rules Committee proposed some new rules yesterday that could have a pretty significant impact on college football next season.

Star-divide

Not all of the rules will be adopted, but nevertheless we should take a look at who will be effected the most.

Proposed rules.

Rule #1. Any player who gets flagged for taunting on the way to the end zone gets the penalty assessed at the spot of the foul and the touchdown taken away.

Who it hurts: Most definitely any team with skill position talent, you know what I’m sayin’?

Who it helps: The manufacturer of Ritalin.

Rule #2. Injured players would have to be cleared by a doctor before they could be put back in the game.

Who it helps:
The prosecution at Nuremberg.

Who it hurts: Oklahoma.

Rule #3. Players’ pants would no longer have to cover the knee.

Who it helps:
Florida and Ohio State and other teams with jorts-clad fanbases.

Who it hurts:
Never nudes.

Rule #4. Eliminating the wedge on kickoffs and punts.

Who it hurts: Western civilization.

Who it helps:
The Persians.

Rule #5. Players who use eye black cannot use words, logos or other symbols.

Who it hurts: Illegitimate children.

Who it helps:
Al Jolson.

Does the NCAA EVER do anything right…?

by Blake Borron on Feb 12, 2010 11:17 AM CST reply actions  

No.

Just what I want…something else that there are really no parameters for. It simply comes down to “judgement.” Awesome.

Good shit, NCAA. So this is what you’ve been doing instead of something worthwhile like, oh I don’t know…investigating what USC has done/is doing? Great sleight-of-hand there. I see what you did.

We successfully profit off of amateur athletics, duh.

How exactly is a wedge used during a punt?

No messages on eye black? How will Tim Tebow get his message across? How will I know where Reggie Bush grew up?

“How will I know where Reggie Bush grew up?”

Using the term “grew up” loosely.

Just google search “Real Life Scott’s Tots”

I think proposal number one is F-ing retarded. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taunting during a live play. Flagging guys for taunting after the whistle is fine in my book. The other team can’t do anything about it after the whistle blows, so head back to the sideline (or huddle) and “act like you’ve been there before.” But I have no problem at all with a guy who is taunting while the play is alive because the opposing team can do something about it; namely, go tackle his ass.

Usually the only time taunting occurs during a play is when the defense gets beaten horribly, in which case they deserve to be taunted. If the coach is ok with his players showboating during a live play, then the ncaa should be ok with it too. rant concluded.

is it your contention that Stoops can’t find someone in Oklahoma with an M.D. after his name that won’t miraculously determine that whoever Bobby thinks can help him is healthy enough to be “cleared”?

The remarkable thing about the NCAA is that if, in fact, Bobby (or any of his ilk) can find such a doctor, the only one they got right will be useless……..

Wow some of these are going to ruin some big games next year.

The eye-black one just pisses me off more than anything. They don’t let the guys put on their death metal face paint anymore, or their bloody eye contacts, and now no eye-black. What is wrong with the world.

Yes

Depending on the distance, you could use the 8 iron.

If I’m coming out of my own end zone with a stiff breeze in my face, I definately go with a knock-down eight..

Very nice.

The left of a much-needed corollary to #2: Players who writhe on the ground like they’ve been shot when playing against spread teams, then magically find the gumption to make it back in on the next play.

The punishment should be that if they want to re-enter the game, they have to do so in a soccer uniform.

don’t you mean help? now you can wear cutoffs up to your balls on the football field

The taunting rule is terrible, not so much that taunting is OK, but that’s an awful lot of discretion to give the refs to end a play and affect the game. They already have disproportionate influence as it is.

Personally, I’m still trying to figure out where there was taunting in that Georgia-LSU game this year, and now they want to be able to end the play and take away the score if the same circumstances occur and the ref just decides he needs to call a penalty? Ugh.

Who proposed this rule, the SEC? Jeepers.

I thought the injury rule was just for concussions.
The taunting rule is ridiculous.

We recommended the trusted and proven “One Minute Cure for All Diseases”. Really efficient all around pure therapy and is highly suggested by practically 15,000 European doctors. Take the time to discover and study this a single why it really is hidden from the public and why it truly is so powerful to Treat yeast infectionat home.
