I suppose you could; and you do have that authority. I think it would be an abuse of that authority, personally.
I wasn't anywhere close to using the god rule, let alone wasting it (I wasn't aware it was a consumable).

I don't give a rat's behind who is using it or what for, just not on the playing field. NFHS 3-2-14. I don't allow cameras on the playing field, either, unless in an approved media area or specifically approved by the school admin.

It is not playing equipment. It is (relatively) large. It is an unnecessary risk. Get it off the field.
