Chinstraps Buckled
Personally I feel all snaps need to be snapped tightly. That is what they are for afterall. I usually don't have any problems with kids not doing so when warned. I have also told players to leave the field when the strap breaks or loses a snap. I usually tell the coach its a safety issue, but they don't complain much. I say buckle up, it's the law. Hey, sounds a slogan for car seat belts too.
I believe that NCAA has recently relaxed its enforcment of this rule. During last season I saw many QB's in particular with one of four snaps hanging loose. It's a bad example for younger players.
