I dont' work in a conference with IR so can't get too involved there. IG on a backwards pass is not illegal because......
A) is it not illegal to throw a backwards pass out of bounds unless it is to save time.
B) if it doesn't get out of bounds it is a live ball and anyone can recover and advance. So there is no advantage to throwing a backwards pass to save yardage, because if no one recovers it it is awarded to the team last in possesion at the dead ball spot.
