Re: Proposed Rule Changes
While rare, I've seen enough tackles made by grabbing the shirt tail of the ball carrier that I've never understood why coaches don't make the tuck a hard and fast rule on their team. If all the defender can get is your shirt, you're good for a few more yards or even the house simply by tucking.

That's not the issue here. It's players who either tuck their jerseys up under their shoulder pads or have exposed back pads. The latter is actually dangerous and a player could fall on their back with the back pad perpendicular to the ground which could cause a spinal cord injury or internal organs. It's rare, but it has happened. Just tuck your jersey in and look like a football player. And don't make us be the fashion police. It's not hard. The latest trend is the dangling mouth pieces. Why?

This one bugs me more than it probably should, but I cannot stand it.

Is it to prove that you're tough and don't need a mouth guard?

No. Just a cool trendy thing they see so they imitate it. No different than exposed back pads, short pants, bandana tails, bicep can calf bands, face paint, etc. Not all of those are illegal, but they all serve the same purpose. Look at me because I'm cool and trendy. Sometime the players will wear a mouth piece and have the extra one dangling.

What what weve seen is a total lack of not following the rules. One year the NCAA came out and said they were going to start enforcing the short pants rule and nothing happened. May be telling every team that if they come out in short pants that player will be disqualified until he complies?????

If they did that and it was the starting QB in the Michigan Ohio State game, they would be crucified. The NFL has less of this because they handle it with fines from the league. You still see some things, but they are very minor and fans probably never notice (player wears Adidas rather than Nike or his socks are a slightly different color).

You have to notify the teams that the rules be enforced. The powers that be then inform the players. Then your equipment manager doest issue anything that is in violation of the rules. They you have coach reinforce the fact that you will dress appropriately and you will not alter the uniforms.
So you are saying the players are running the show? They are going to say piss on you aint following the rules?
