At least for another season, the republic is saved. (h/t)
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has tabled a proposed football rule that would have adjusted the ineligible receiver downfield rule from 3 yards to 1 yard on Thursday.
Panel members, who met on a teleconference Thursday, felt more discussion about the rule should take place within the college football community before a final decision is made.
They go on to note that only 65 of the FBS head coaches participated in the initial survey, so I guess they didn’t buy Troy Calhoun’s puffery.
In any event, officials can go back to ignoring the rule, just like before. Except in Georgia games, of course.
