This sounds like bunk to me. Now, given that you, Bob, work Fed, and you, Juggling, work Canadian, I understand you ruling it a TD. However, is there some NCAA'ism that could make this incomplete? Is there anything in the NCAA that would justify this being called incomplete?

REPLY: There are new 2007 NCAA ARs (case plays) out there that seem to be causing some angst since they say that when the player returns to the ground he must maintain control of the ball. Some say that when his first foot hits the turf, he has returned to the ground; others seem to be inclined to wait till he falls (if he falls) to determine whether or not he has maintained control.
