The NCAA Football Rules Committee opted for a half measure last week. Those who have binged Breaking Bad know what that means. It’s half a solution to a whole problem, and the end result is usually no solution at all.
The committee, which has an unenviable task because any decision it makes will draw complaints from coaches, players, fans or all of the above, has advanced a potential rule change that would allow return teams to fair catch a kickoff anywhere inside the 25-yard line and have the ball brought out to the 25.
