The thing is, how many ejections were overturned due to replay? This season in NCAA, if the change is implemented, the 15 yard penalty will also be overturned by replay.

There is no replay in NFHS. So this will be interesting to see how everyone...officials, coaches and players...adjust to this new rule. And how many broadcasters get it wrong.

There's not really a new rule, just a new definition. This type of play was already illegal. They just gave it a name.
