OK, this is bizarre. Not so much what they are doing but how they say they will do things.
We still need to use the 2006 NCAA rules, whether we make exceptions in certain (or all) areas that read exactly like the 2005 rules. What if they (NCAA) adopt some editorial changes or approved rulings in the 2006 book that are intended to be implemented, but aren't? We watch the NCAA tape every year because the playing rules are exactly the same. The UIL exceptions deal almost exclusively with timing, fighting, and other administrative issues, rather than things like holding, pass interference, etc. I think the printing issue would work itself out.
I still think everyone is overreacting to the NCAA changes. I don't think they are going to speed a game up so much that fans won't think they got their money's worth.
