BREAKING: New NCAA Rule Passed
- Thread starter John_J_Rambo
- Start date
How will this affect the corona virus that's going to wipe out earth's population??
So can EA sports come out with the new college football already!!
Would some athletes really want to be known as a "zero"? I can easily see number 1 as being much in demand but zero? I guess it means different things to different people.
Also players will no longer have to leave the field after a targeting penalty
Should just automatically be the starting punter’s number for every single team before some dipsh!t teenager thinks it’s cool.
Now they can get rid of JR as part of their name tag. Do they think we will confuse them with their father?
I read that this is a recommendation by the NCAA Football Rules Committee and it will be considered for adoption by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel in April. Also the recommendation is to allow a player to be on the sideline after being flagged for targeting rather than going to the locker room. But the player would still be ejected from the game - and for the first half of the next game if the penalty is called in the second half of a game.

Can’t wait till they combine numbers with letters. Look like dirt track racing out there. 37B with the tackle
Jim Otto, who played center for the Oakland Raiders way back when, wore "00". I don't think you can use that number in the NFL any more.
As someone who takes stats, I'm all for something that reduces the chances of duplicate numbers in football. But that would be ridiculous. Numbers and letters together?!
Always love when a local guy has to slap on duct tape in the shape of whatever letter because the outlaws are in town and they get number priority
Hexadecimal, that's a good idea. 255 two digit numbers. Shouldn't be a need for duplicate numbers.
Why limit ourselves to integers? I was square root of 3 for my intramural team because I was so gd cool
Could we just add an "or" in there like we do with the depth chart? "1or3" for example
Reminds me of an oldie but a goodie. At least for math nerds.
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand the binary system and those who dont.

Just a matter of time before there is a petition to start wearing jerseys with numbers that identify as letters
Otto was a very good player. So was Ken Burrough, a longtime WR for the Oilers who wore 00. Don’t remember any others.
The quickest off the snap and had the finest technique playing center in the NFL in my opinion. Otto got to the DLineman's hips in the blink of an eye. That is back when linemen looked like athletes. Too many in today's game look like balloons. No question, today's 310+ pounders are more effective, but they really look like hell when compared to Otto or a Jerry Kramer or EJ Holub.
