Same goes with media and all those others they let creep close to the sidelines. A limit line of 5 yards is about as close as I would like to see them to the sideline.
Your "experinced" chain crew members will just have to get used to it. They really should have been pushed back for years, but since the old rule only said it was recommended to work up to 6 feet (or something like that), many HL's were reluctant to push'm there to start with. Two inches was about all some would be able to get!
Ha! the tables will be turned this year!

I agree. I really wish the Fed would mandate the 2 yards back all the way around the field- period, end of story. That would make life a heck of a lot easier. Especially since some schools are going to turf, it would be easy to have that belt "installed" right from the beginning.
