Perhaps focusing on the actual Rule might help.

I did. Quoted it to them in e-mail. They just passed the buck around. The president said the field officials decide, the field officials said ask the administration. Demonstrated handing the ball backward in the gym, seemed to convince them, then they forgot. Plus, they look down the page of the Fed rulebook to where the beginning of the article is no longer in frame, thus severing the rigmarole about turning to face backward from its context, which is handing the ball forward.

What might've convinced them was something on the level of what they were looking for, i.e. a thread here. Opinion from someone beats factual quote from somewhere, it seems. So I'd like that in case it comes up again this year.

Sometimes, you just have to accept that, "You can lead a horse to water, but it's totally up to the horse if it wants to drink."
