A few years ago at a Regional clinic, one of the National Staff members announced that they had asked the NCAA rules committee to get rid of the 24" rule completely but the committee declined. To some the umpires in attendance who hang on every word spoken there this announcement translated to "do not call this". We'll see if umpires who wouldn't call it without the lines will call it now. It may depend of what the Staff says about it in January.
