The screw I think should be changed is the ability of the team with the ball to give up a safety on last down, which is really what the situation described is about. If that's
not changed (to make it a TD instead of a safety), then, what's the big deal about this play situation in NCAA? Once the QB faded into the end zone, he could've kneeled to concede a safety, so what's the big deal about allowing him to concede a safety via intentional grounding?
