What advantage would the offense get? If you want to take that mentality, maybe INT should be a DDB, also. For that matter, let's make everything a DDB just in case. Oooopppss, forgot this

Personally, I understand why they are looking at this as a possible change, but I honestly believe that will just provide that much more confusion and an increase in the coach's BS meter trying to talk umpires into a load of crap rulings, even at the college level.
