NFL Officials Manual?

[UTLaw]

Hello!

I work at UT-Austin and am trying to help a professor locate a copy of the official NFL Officials' Manual for his law and sport research course. I came across this site in a google search and, after searching and finding a few threads that mention the manual, I thought I should see if anyone here knows where one might be found or, better yet, purchased.

Thanks for any advice!

Just call the NFL office and tell them why you need it. I bet they'd email you or the prof a PDF.

Can you say more about your project? I'm interested in hearing about it.

Always ready to help out a 'sip!

Thanks for the advice. I was able to contact NFL officiating and the person I spoke with was very helpful and sent me a variety of materials.

As for the project, there aren't a lot of specifics yet. Really just looking at the parallels between legal and sporting rules, standards of review, and things like that for a seminar class.
We've been gather materials on the rules and interpretations from a variety of pro and college sports but some of the guides and manuals as to interpreting and enforcing rules are a little harder to track down.

Again, thanks!
