A long time ago I saw a field goal kicker run onto the field barefooted to kick a FG. I was a fairly young official and thought nothing more of it than, "Wow, he must be cold" (it was like 5 degrees). An old experienced vet, told him he could not kick barefooted. Coach yelled "We been doing it all year!" Ref yells, back, "Your not doing it today!" So, they ran a shoe out in record time and he kicked a 35 yarder...
I do think there was a bit of reasonable delay in the RFP as I recall.
