Fan Question about PI..

[ChristianHog1965]

I know the penalties are different in the NFL (spot of the foul) and NCAA (15 yards) for pass interference and I also know that in the past the NCAA had the same penalty as the NFL. My questions is why the change was made in the NCAA? It seems to me that the penalty is set up in such a way that it can greatly benefit the offending team. A qb throws a 50-yarder into the endzone to a wr who has a step on the defender, the defender then tackles the wr before the ball gets there. Offense gets the ball on the 35 and a first down. It just doesn't make sense to me to reward the team that gets flagged. What is the reasoning behind the penalty being only 15 yards and not spot of the foul?

Also, what is the accountability structure for NCAA officials if/when they have a bad game?

Just curious.

Thanks.
