Silly NCAA runner assistance rule...

[vcblue]

I don't ump college (I have a 8 to 5 job), however I will weigh in. I take it this rule was put in place to speed up the game and/or sportsmanship (no other reasons for such a dumb rule). If this is the logic behind the rule then the blues blew it. By definition a walk off HR means the game is over, therefore the game cannot be delayed. I also don't see how starting to celebrate a win via a HR 0' to 60' early constitutes a lack of sportsmanship. Therefore, the blues should have told the coach that in their judgment this was only a warning and walked of the field (no protest allowed).
