Clips and Chop blocks carry penalties (NCAA) of 15 yards and a first down. Isn't that what PFs carry? What are the NCAA penalties for BIB? Further, I think all clips and chop blocks will be gone for good in the next few years, while BIBs will still be allowed in the rectangular area.
Besides, you missed my point. I didn't say it isn't a safety issue per se. I guess it could be. What I said was that if you have a foul that you deem a safety issue, call a PF instead of a BIB. Most BIB's I've seen and called don't rise to the level of creating a safety issue. They simply put a defender at a huge disadvantage, something that doesn't happen when the defender is between a kick returner making a fair catch and the returner teams' goal line.
