Instant Replay Idiocy

[JasonTX]

Same officials? Are you blind or what? I challenge you to dawn the stripes and we'll see how long you last. As far as getting on here and complaining about instant replay, you are barking up the wrong tree. You need to go find a coaching site to complain since they have more of a say over how instant replay and other rules are operated. If your still not satisfied just work you way up the ranks of officiating and then you can be the one operating the replay. Until then, your opinion is not important. If you want football that is designed for entertainment only, then you should direct your attention to the NFL. Fan enjoyment is NOT the top priority of college sports so any decision the NCAA makes has nothing to do with fans. Face the facts, fans are not a vital part of athletics.

I didn't see the play, but in NCAA, if on a 4th down, the ball is fumbled forward, doesn't the ball return to the spot of the fumble for a COP?

The ball was fumbled into the pylon and landed out of bounds.

In this play it appeared the ball was fumbled and then struck a pylon That Makes the fumble out of bounds in the end zone at that moment. By rule, a touchback would be awarded to the defense so they would have 1st and 10 at the 20.

I have to agree with jimpiano here, you take away the fans at the College or Pro level and there will be no more sports. Fans are not only vital, but they are the most important aspect of college and pro sports. At these two levels it is all about the money and if the fans dry up so does the money and the sports very soon will follow. You can see this in the constant cut backs of athletic teams at the collegiate level, granted some of that has to do with Title IX but that is a topic for another discussion.
