You'll just get two idiot officials looking at the same pair of pants and calling it completely different.

Or better yet, one will wait until mid 4th quarter of the biggest game of a teams season and then decide to call something they haven't called all year.

Before you dismiss it-we saw them call a penalty on OSU in The Game for a player not having his mouthpiece in. It was tucked in his face mask like they all do, every play, all year.

Some players have two mouth pieces one they wear and one tucked into his facemask for style. I think Harrison JR or Treaveon did it and was like wait what?

1. I thought there was a rule about pants length. I mean, they made Zeke cover up his 8-pack.
2. When did that penalty happen? I don't remember it.

NCAA's latest transfer portal proposal takes aim at coaches, money in effort to deter post-spring tampering

NCAA's latest transfer portal proposal takes aim at coaches, money in effort to deter post-spring tampering​

If you recall the Xavier Lucas saga from a year ago, it's clear what the NCAA is trying to prevent moving forward​

The NCAA FBS Oversight Committee on Friday zeroed in on a recommendation meant to aggressively penalize teams for adding players outside of the transfer portal window.

Adjusting a proposal initially formed in February, the oversight committee settled on a pair of actions that would occur if a team added a player who wasn't entered into the transfer portal during the January window:
  • The head coach would be prohibited from all football (recruiting and on-field coaching) and administrative duties (team meetings) for six contests.
  • The school would be fined 20% of its football budget.
The committee had previously proposed that a school would also lose five scholarships for adding a player not in the portal outside of the portal window. But that's since been removed from the proposal.

The committee left arguably the two most punishing penalties in its proposal, however. Losing five scholarships isn't crippling in an era where teams can carry 105 scholarship players. A head coach losing his ability to recruit and literally do his job in-season is very stringent. So is a team being fined 20% of its football budget.

The proposal still must be adopted by the Division I cabinet, but it's clear the NCAA is taking aim at a transfer loophole that athletes have taken advantage of over the past year and could have had a major impact this spring.

NCAA softens targeting punishment: Committee nixes automatic suspensions for players

NCAA softens targeting punishment: Committee nixes automatic suspensions for players​

After more than a decade of complaints from coaches, the NCAA is eliminating the automatic carryover suspension for first-time offenders​

cfb.jpg


The targeting rule in college football has long been a subject of discontent among coaches, and finally, change is coming to the penalty structure.

The Division I FBS Oversight Committee approved a one-year trial rule on Thursday that fundamentally reshapes targeting penalties. Now, first-time offenders will be allowed to participate in the next game, regardless of which half the foul occurs. Previously, players charged with targeting in the second half were booted from the game and suspended for the first half of the next game.

A player disqualified for targeting a second time during a season will be required to miss the first half of the next game. A third targeting penalty triggers a full-game suspension. No player in the FBS was charged with three targeting penalties in 2025.

Conferences will now also have the option to file an appeal for second offenses. The appeal can also include the player's first targeting foul. If the NCAA's national coordinator of football officials overturns the targeting foul, the player will not have to sit out the next game.

The baseline, in-game penalties remain. Players charged with targeting will be ejected for the remainder of the contest, and a 15-yard penalty will be assessed to the offending team. The NCAA implemented the targeting foul in 2008, and the ejection penalty was added in 2013. Conference offices have been allowed to appeal disqualification decisions made in the second half of games, further fueling coaches' campaign against the penalty structure.

NCAA Division I Cabinet OK's 5-year, age-based eligibility​

The NCAA Division I Cabinet unanimously approved a new five-year, age-based eligibility model Tuesday.

Under the new rule, athletes in all sports will be given five years of eligibility over five seasons once their college eligibility clock begins. The clock starts upon initial full-time enrollment in college or at the beginning of the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs first.

The move is meant to eliminate the need for redshirts and waivers, which have drawn scrutiny in recent years as athletes have sued the NCAA challenging eligibility rules.

Athletes who just completed their fourth season of eligibility without a redshirt would not be granted an additional year. Schools will have flexibility in determining whether to use previous eligibility rules or the new age-based model for athletes with eligibility remaining after the 2025-26 academic year.

Prospects who graduated in spring 2026 will use the age-based model.

Are they just incapable of passing a rule that unfucks something dumb and doesn't fuck something else up in an even more dumbass way?

FBS Oversight Committee Proposes Modifications to Practice Calendar, Transfer Portal

FBS Oversight Committee Proposes Modifications to Practice Calendar, Transfer Portal​

162847_h.jpg


College football’s offseason calendar, preseason structure and transfer portal window could all be in line for changes beginning with the 2027 season, as the Division I Football Oversight Committee continues to advance a series of proposed reforms.

The committee’s latest proposal would significantly reshape how programs manage practice opportunities throughout the year, replacing the traditional spring model with two separate out-of-season practice periods totaling 21 practices. Neither segment could exceed five weeks.

The shift reflects the continued rise of NFL-style organized team activities (OTAs), which have gained support across college football in recent years. Programs are currently permitted 15 spring practices under the existing format.

Preseason preparation would also be shortened under the proposal, with the current 25-day allowance reduced to 21 days. Those practices could be conducted over a 27-day window. An NCAA release noted the adjustment accounts for expanded spring and summer opportunities, stating, “The committee noted that additional practice opportunities would be available during the spring and summer under the new out-of-season activities model, which warranted a four-day reduction.”

Alongside the practice changes, the committee recommended in April shifting the traditional start of the season up one week, to what is currently known as Week 0, ahead of Labor Day weekend.

Roster movement would also be affected under the proposal, as the transfer portal window would be reduced from 15 days to 10. The portal would open on the first business day following Jan. 1 each year. This past cycle’s window ran from Jan. 2 to Jan. 16 after the spring portal period was eliminated.

Beyond practice and roster changes, the committee also continues to explore adjustments to the off-campus recruiting model. That concept would increase the number of staff members permitted to recruit off campus to 17 (including the head coach) and establish a yearly allotment of recruiting days for programs. A formal proposal could be introduced later this summer, with implementation also targeted for 2027.
