News Article: New Rule Changes for 2011

[Cape Tide]

Beginning in 2011, the committee approved another proposal that will disallow touchdowns for taunting, if the foul occurs before the player scores.

Talk about a potential game-changer.....

I hate the stupid taunting rule, even as it is. It's too subjective...

 

[Bama1970]

In a few years college football won't be worth watching.

I don't understand the eye black rule change. I can kind of see if you have something offensive...but most of the time it's a player's area code where he is from. That doesn't offend anyone. On the contrary...it builds pride in that player's hometown. Isn't that part of what the sport is all about anyway?

New NCAA rule changes

personalized eye black - out
wedge blocking on kickoffs - out

I'm apparently blind. Please merge the threads.

Shoulda read the board before posting...

Based on these and other rule changes, why bother playing the games at all. Let's have the teams suit up, run a simulation on PS/3 or 360 (computer controls but coachs may call one play per quarter) then everyone announce the score and award Auburn a People's Choice Award.

I did. Just not very good at multitasking. Thanks for the tip though :tongue:

Re: New NCAA rule changes

Taunting has caused an annual debate among college football players, coaches and fans, and last season's big controversy stemmed from Georgia receiver A.J. Green receiving a 15-year personal foul penalty after he caught a go-ahead touchdown pass late in a game against LSU

The part that caught my eye was the 15 yr foul. :biggrin:

The Taunting penalty may be the worst rule ever instituted by the NCAA. It's a terrible, terrible, terrible precedent to set. It's way too subjective, and has too much impact on the outcome of the game. There are much better, and less dramatic, ways to achieve the same goal of reducing taunting without taking points off the board. :mad2:

 

[TideEngineer08]

I'm not in favor of any of these penalty changes, with the possible exception of the wedge buster penalty. I'm not convinced that will actually cut down on injuries, but if it does, that's good.

Well said! I absolutely hate it, wayyy too, subjective ! I mean high stepping in the last few yards and/or holding the ball out toward the defense?!? Give me a break! :mad2: I was mystified when we got a penalty that turned out becauseEither Ingran or Richardson, got up at the goal line and kind of gave the ball a spin, good grief! Who sits on these rules committees, I'm sure this is so universally hated that their schools administrations should bring pressure to change this asinine rule .

I don't know it could be a gang thing. :biggrin2: I think Tebow's Bible verses were what prompted the rule. You know it infuriates atheists to see any religious reference.

Any rule that takes points off of the board is insane.

 

[Bud]

It's a no win for refs: either they are going to upset 80K people or the ones grading them out on Monday.

I think the rule will disproportionally penalizes offensive taunting more than defensive taunting.

 

[RTRFanatic]

The taunting rule sounds like another one to add to the referee's "rules we apply when we feel like it" book.

I doubt it will be applied equally across the board....

This is what bothers me!! when we start taking God out of our everyday lives because we MAY offend some non believing athiest then this nation is not what made it the great nation it once was any longer....sad, sad days!!!!

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!!! Amen!!:BigA:

I hate rules like this taunting rule. Sometimes they get called, sometimes they don't. I understood Marcel getting penelized in the national chamionship game, but was irate when Texas got away with it twice in the same game. I guess it's like holding...call it when you want to.
I not against the wedge rule. If it keeps a kid from being hurt it'll be OK, but someday they have to realize that people are going to be hurt...it's a contact sport.
I don't care for the eyeblack rule. I didn't see anything bad on any of them. There was a time when U.S. citizens had a right to serve their lord and savior Jesus Christ.

ROLL TIDE!!! :BigA:

This rule and Tebow was brought up on College Football Live today. They were saying how the nzaa waited til Tebow left before making this a rule.

As far as the taunting rule bs, they are trying to take away all emotion from the game. These are 18-23 yr olds playing a GAME!!! Let them enjoy it some. Geez
