I pretty sure this wasn't an "NCAA" decision but one made by a group that apparently thinks it must change something every year to justify their positions.

The justifications are ridiculous. If it were really about inaccurate/inconsistent strike zones, they'd ban the heel/toe stance. Most of the bad zones I see are from officials using it. Of course, it has nothing to do with the type of stance they use. Their zone would be bad in any stance. I never was comfortable in the scissors, but I do know several umpires who have very good zones who are. IMO, the umpire with the best zone in the last several WCWS uses it.

I'm not sure a PU's head is in that much different a location in the scissors than other stances. I've never really paid much attention I guess. I haven't heard of an elevated number of injuries either.
