figured we needed a thread for general off season discussion that may not relate to a single team/conference.
Not to mention the complete lack of real proof that up-tempo offenses run a greater risk of injury for either team.
the clock ran when the ball was kicked. Remember Fat Boy used this rule to run out the clock against Penn St. He kept kicking it out of bounds or something, but Penn St couldn't just take the ball at the spot, Wisconsin had to rekick. They kept doing it til the clock was on zero.What exactly changed in 06?
I loved the Pirates comments earlier when I read them too. There are 11 voting members to the rules committee; that includes 7 women. Saban and Fat Boy may be able to player safety them into voting for it, but there'd be a huge outcry against it. Here are the voting members:
Shelley Appelbaum, senior women's administrator, Michigan State.
Derita Ratcliffe, senior women's administrator, UAB.
Jeff Hurd, commissioner, WAC.
Noreen Morris, commissioner, Northeast Conference.
Lisa Sweany, AD, Armstrong Atlantic State University.
Kristy Bayer, senior women's administrator, Arkansas Tech.
Doug Zipp, AD, Shenandoah University.
Lynn Oberbillig, AD, Smith College.
Sue Lauder, AD, Fitchburg State University
Larry Scott, PAC-12 Commissioner
Jon Steinbrecher, MAC Commissioner
That's where it all goes downhill. We saw how well that worked this year with targeting.so refs would have to use judgment.

Oklahoma State releases list of self-reported minor NCAA violations
By Gina Mizell
STILLWATER — Playing nine holes of golf.
Providing color commentary for a soccer match.
Returning a phone call from an unknown number.
Texting instead of Facebook messaging.
Those are the types of acts the resulted in Oklahoma State's self-reported secondary NCAA violations since Sept. of 2012, which were recently obtained by The Oklahoman through a public records request.
In all, there were 16 instances from 10 sports where a self-reported violation took place. Five of those came from the football program, with all relating to recruiting.
Here's a breakdown of those violations:
FOOTBALL
Feb. 21, 2013: Defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements inadvertently returned a missed call he believed was from a high-school coach he was attempting to contact. Instead, the call was from a junior prospective student-athlete. Clements quickly explained he had made a mistake and ended the call after one minute. Self-imposed punishment: Ban on any phone calls to that prospect during the next two permissible calling opportunities — one call during junior year and the first call of senior year.
March 8, 2013: Former offensive line coach Joe Wickline inadvertently invited two two-year college non-qualifier prospects, along with their coach, to visit campus. Because the trio was passing through Stillwater on the way to another school for an unofficial visit, Wickline assumed the two players were qualifiers and failed to verify that information with the eligibility center. Self-imposed punishment: Counted the visit as one of its three permissible off-campus contacts with both players.
April 5, 2013: Offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich inadvertently responded to a text message from a junior prospective student-athlete. Yurcich was in the middle of sending permissible Facebook messages via the application on his phone when the text came in, and forgot the difference between Facebook messages and impermissible text messages. Self-imposed punishment: Ban on any telephone contact with prospect for a two-week period at beginning of senior year.
Oct. 11, 2013: OSU staff inadvertently used two evaluations on the same Houston-area high school during the fall evaluation period. Receivers coach Kasey Dunn first visited the school on Sept. 20, using OSU's one permissible evaluation for the fall. But cornerbacks coach Van Malone later evaluated a game played by the same school. The first evaluation of that school was not logged on a sheet indicating all visits that had already taken place that fall, so Malone did not realize attending the game was impermissible. Self-imposed punishment: Reduced evaluation days in the fall by two.
Oct. 15, 2013: Receivers coach Jason Ray inadvertently returned a phone call from a junior prospective student-athlete, who wanted to request tickets to an upcoming game. After ending the call following one minute, Ray followed up with an email to the prospect explaining that schools could only receive phone calls from juniors. Self-imposed punishment: Prohibited from calling prospect during the spring window from April 15-May 31, as well as the first permissible week of senior year.
The NCAA apparently has rules about everything when it comes to college athletics.
Even pasta eating.
A list of benign secondary violations that Oklahoma's athletic department reported to the NCAA included one bizarre anecdote: According to The Oklahoman, three unnamed Sooners athletes ate more food during a graduation banquet than NCAA rules allow. The violations occurred on May 10, 2013, according to the newspaper.
The specific item overindulged on was pasta.
To have their eligibility reinstated, the three had to donate $3.83 each (the cost of the pasta servings) to charities of their choice.
Although the players were not identified, offensive linemen Gabe Ikard and Austin Woods took to Twitter to fess up for piling on the pasta and claim they paid $5 for the food.

I was just about to post that. This is sad and pathetic. Is the NCAA going to start checking every athlete's meals for calorie content now?Hahahahaha those are hilarious. Just like Nebraska getting probation for giving "optional" textbooks to scholarship athletes rather than just the mandatory ones. The NCAA is so sad.
OSU is hardly the only Oklahoma school breaking ridiculous rules.
The tweets from those two athletes in the article are hilarious.

While the Sooners elected to self-report, the NCAA released a statement saying that what the three players did was not a violation of any NCAA rules.
