I do not think reducing the elbow consideration of if it is a FF is a bad thing. Many plays the elbow is totally inadvertent and part of the play. We all know when those situations are when someone swings for a purpose. And I bet even if they put it on the officials to decide what the ultimate penalty will be, we will see the NCAA still suggest that most of these plays will be a FF. It I think it will be when a player simply hits someone with an elbow will be reduced to likely a common foul (or PC foul). Coaches were already complaining and that will not change.
Peace
