i believe the Fed rule is changing this year to a similar definition of obstruction. will it be identical to ncaa?
thanks

NCAA changed the obstruction rule for the 2007 season. There was a minor change in 2006 but the "if you ain't got the ball, you are guilty" rule came in the 2007 book. I understand that the FED will follow the same rule in 2008 (although I don't get my FED books until early 2008 so I cannot verify it.).
