On second thought, your probably right. especially if the game is on the line, with less than 10 secs.,and not enough time to run another play. Good point.

I'd agree with you Gonzo, however, if a team happens to have a touchdown threat on kick returns (ala Felix Jones), they might opt to re kick from the 25 instead of taking it at the 40.

Good point Hog "n Iowa. Maybe what the NCAA is really trying to do is open up more opportunities for the growing list of advertisement people. On the other hand, the rule changes look ok to me, but seriously, if a team kick's off to you out of bounds, and you have the option to take it at your own 40, 9 times out of 10 you'll do exactly that, unless the ball goes out of bounds in better field position. Why re-kick from the 25? Isn't that one kind of a no-brainer?

If the NCAA REALLY wanted to speed up the game they would decrease the number of commercials per half from 500 to 400. This will never happen, though, because there is a $-sign attached to that option.
