Field judge, side judge question

[jTheUmp]

Bob is correct... NCAA mechanics changed this year... H & S spend the first half on the pressbox sideline (opposite the chains) and move opposite the pressbox in the 2nd half.

The reasoning is twofold: 1) It gives the officials a chance to spend half the game on each sideline (ie: only getting yelled at for one half by each team). 2) There are a few teams (including one locally) that have the home team sideline opposite the pressbox, which means that under the old system, they never saw the L & F from any crews that worked in their conference.

The NFL has been doing it for years.
