A football weighs, what, 16 ounces? The players have helmets on. And if you've not been bonked by a football in the head area as an official, you've been extremely lucky.
I don't care how high you throw it spontaneously or what it does when it comes down. IMHO and IMHO only, it wasn't an attempt to showboat nor was it an attempt to delay the game or do anything that, in my mind, "harms" the game.
That said, yes, it's a rule. I get that. I'm questioning the need for the rule, which is different from questioning the call.

Well it is not your opinion or my opinion that matters. I think the NCAA has the right to outlaw acts they feel are inappropriate. It happens all the time with leagues or organizations. This situation is not different. I know in all my sports there are things that are clearly outlawed. I also do not work on national TV with the level of scrutiny these guys go through. If they would have not applied the rule, they could get in trouble or suspended. Now I do not know about you, but I have never worked a game where the money I make can be taken because of a call I make or do not make.
Peace
