If this gets the BYU team/equipment manager to fix that helmet problem, this will be a good thing. That was absolutely ridiculous last year."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Also, players who lose their helmet during the course of a play will have to sit out the next play (unless it's ripped off by an opponent via the facemask).

Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostThe assumption here is that without this rule, teams would not try to correct the problem. How long has this been an issue? It seems like it is only recently that helmets have popped off at a remarkable rate, yet there has never been such a punitive rule. Why are helmets coming off more now? Is it because last season teams all over the country decided to issue ill-fitting helmets? That doesn't seem probable. Was there a design change in helmets or a new manufacturer? That seems more probable.

Makes no sense to penalize teams 5 yards for kicking it in to the endzone.

I think the new rule encourages the players to wear their gear correctly or they have to come off the field."We should remember that one man is much the same as another, and that he is best who is trained in the severest school."
