This is not a new concept and I was not alone in the opinion. From '07:

ncaa traveling

I've read where people say they "don't want my playoff game to turn into a bunch of travel calls." That's a BS copout. If officials were more consistent in calling it, the problem wouldn't exist.

Yes, JAR, you are correct. It's a HUGE disadvantage for the defense.

And from last year:
