Came across this on the NCAA website. This is the group that approves the rule book.
To add a little perspective the rule book is 224 pages, the rule section is about 100 pages, appendix 20 pages, interpretations 86 pages, the rest misc. It covers everything from what the field should look like to uniforms.
For those interested you can download a pdf copy for free on the NCAA website or buy a copy for $10.
The makeup of this committee just does not look right to me. It reminds me of the "a donkey is a horse designed committee" situation.
Any thoughts?
