I noticed last weekend in the college football games I was watching that the refs touched the players several times. At least twice I saw one official (which position, I have no clue) who placed the ball on the turf, and then slapped the center on the butt as the official backed out of the play. Also, a couple times, a player came back to receive a punt, and knocked fists with the official who was there. It was just the standard fist/greeting thing. But I hand't noticed that before, and the butt-slap thing really surprised me. I suppose by college the players are too old for their parents to file lawsuits?
