NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

[ScriptOhio]

After watching several; NFL games; I became a fan of their "dynamic kickoff". It puts a premium on the kicker being able to kick the ball as close to the goal line as possible without going over it and there are a whole lot more runbacks on the kickoff, etc. I think the NCAA should adopt it or something very similar.

Agree.

I was told that the rule was changed to cut down on injuries.
After a few years of this new rule, have injuries gone down?
If yes, then sure - college should do it.
If no, then no - I don't see it as being all that great.

USA Today has an article titled, "How Indiana Saved College Football...". I disagree - I think the whiplash from IU's explosion is exemplary of all that is ruining the sport. Of course, I'm a relic from the Griffin and Spielman eras. Maybe Gen Alpha sees is differently. (They also seemed to get significant officiating help in the ccg. Don't call them for holding; we need them to save college football by beating the yesterday's news Buckeyes en route to a storybook 16-0 season.)

I remember Bama, UGA, Clemson, OSU, Okla, most years in the playoffs was getting old, but this inorganic wild west anarchical chaos is not necessarily doing it for me.

The status quo sucked. Taking advantage of athletes and using the hammer to control them. Now the athletes have the hammer and it’s entertaining to me. Go to a Wittenberg or Capital game if you want “College Football “ and student athletes win one for old Alma mater.
