I had to check to make sure they had changed it.
And as one of the guys at our association meeting pointed out every play and every call has the potential to be on the internet (or as he said - yoo-hoos end up on youtube). With the number of softball games shown on TV growing the NCAA can't let obvious violations continue to happen.
