Legal Equipment NCAA

[Theisey]

I'll toss this balloon out to see how it breaks.

Maybe there should be a rule change even if just for a year made at the NCAA level. Simply stated, knee pads covering ones knees are optional equipment.

Of all those teams and their players we've seen all year long with exposed knees, was there any serious injuries as a result of not covering up the knee?
I don't know if there were none or if there were dozens.

Chinstraps is a different issue. You'll never catch me saying it's OK to run around with them unbuckled. If you get to the Pros, be my guest.
