Somehow this bit of news sailed right over my quarantine-fogged head last week. The NCAA’s Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a set of rules changes that will make a significant impact upon the college football that we consume — whenever it is that there will be college football to be consumed.
Chief amongst the tweaks will be a revamping of the way targeting penalties are enforced (for the better), additional time for instant replays to be reviewed (which I’m also on board with) and — in the category of righting atrocities I didn’t realize existed — lifting the ban on the coolest number that could ever be stitched to nylon.
