Coach Bryan, everyone agrees that your system is legal. But what many of us are saying is that rule changes are driven by coach, athletic directors, and state association reps. There's going to be opposition to your system if it becomes very widespread. And when theat happens, the NCAA clause that states it's reasonable to expect the ball will be kicked will be added or the numbering exception will be removed.

The rule requiring 50-79 numbering for linemen is there for a reason. It's so the offense doesn't gain an unfair advantage over the defense. That's what's happened with your exploitation of the numbering exception.
