    b. If an official discovers illegal equipment, the player must leave the game for at least one down and is not allowed to return until the equipment is made legal. The player may be allowed to return without missing a down if the team takes a charged team timeout, but in any event he may not play with illegal equipment.

    5. Play Clock: Helmet Comes Off Defensive Player (Rules 3-2-4 and 3-3-9)
    a. In Rule 3-2-4-c-13, delete Exception: If there is an option for a 10-second subtraction in either half, the play clock is set at 25 seconds for any player.
    b. In Rule 3-3-9-b-2, delete second sentence: The play clock will be set at 25 seconds.

    Then I hope they make it a point to enforce the current rule.
  • Sonofanump
    Did not realize that it was not being enforced.

    If they call penalties for pulling people off of piles, there will be a ton of those called.

    Braxton staying at OSU is a shocker and I thought until he showed up for Spring Ball he was leaving. But it appears as if he's here for at least one more. Cardale looked very sharp in passing drills yesterday according to my inside sources.

    No doubt in my mind Cardale is the starting QB for next fall. No doubt.

    So Jameis has publicly admitted to getting crab legs for free.

    Think the NCAA will do anything NOW?
  • bigkahuna
    So, he didn't steal them, the store just gave them away?

    It'll be interesting to see what happens.
  • Iliketurtles
    I doubt the NCAA will do anything. I mean Winston was charged with the crime, paid fines, and was suspended.

    It was obvious to anyone that the whole crab legs situation was just a freebie gone wrong.

    It's pretty awesome to see Nick Saban so butthurt. The only reason he doesn't do it is because the SEC won't let him. You know damn well he would be all over it if he could.

    The store apparently told football players they could come shop there and take what they wanted for free. This was covered back when the story was released. As long as Winston doesn't get free tattoos for selling his own things, it's alright.

    The satellite camps are dumb and aren't a good idea. They'll be gone after this year.

    I agree with this, but it is funny as hell to watch SEC people all up in arms because something thought of a borderline shady move before they could.

    Tell Nick he can have a camp in Columbus when he agrees to play a game there.

    Anyone got some surprise teams this year?
    I'll bet Washington or Washington State win the Pac 12

    I'm a Leach fan, but what has he ever done to make you think he can WIN a major conference? Compete, maybe, but win?
  • WebFire
    Well, that didn't take long...

    Not that I see him winning either, but he had a pretty good year in 08.
  • Midstate01
    They have to at least look at it and see that it's fair for all. Like over signing where the sec has no rules for it, but other Conferences do, the sec doesn't allow theses camps but others do. The field should be as level as possible.

    Urban's been butthurt about these camps too.
