Is it still in force? That is a matter of opinion.

I saw what you said and even remember the play mentioned. From what I understand anytime something is removed, the ruling has likely changed or does not fit the current interpretations. This was also an NCAA game, so what the NF might say on this might not apply. I am just trying to understand what rule says this would be only a foul on the player that fell on top of another player as stated in this situation.

Let me take it a step further, I also do not think the rules were intended or it makes good common sense to call a foul on anyone in this specific situation. But that is after all an opinion. I am sure some might disagree. I just would like a rule to back that up before I am able to make that leap.
