Illegal formation?

[Texas Aggie]

B is legal as long as there are 5 players with numbers between 50-79, unless they are in a scrimmage kick formation. As Welpe said, any interior lineman is illegal by position.

50-79 are ALWAYS illegal, regardless of formation. I add this because there is some confusion about a difference between NFL and NCAA rules. Under NCAA rules, there is no requirement that the end have an eligible number. I think in the NFL, he has to.

Don't you mean ineligible, not necessarily illegal? Maybe I am reading too much into this but isn't that a little different classification?
