But how many of the rules are dumb. Remember there is the concept of jury nullification. Juries have the ability to say “this is against the law?! That’s ridiculous.” And I think the sports league should take opportunities like this to review their own rules. My partly in jest suggestion is that they all employ a panel of comedians, present the rule to them, if they can come up with 5 good minutes making fun of what a dumb rule it is, quietly tell the team to stop breaking it so as to not draw attention to it, and change the freaking rule at the earliest convenience.
It’s an idiot rule, made more idiotic by the fact that NFL got embarrassed by their similarly bad rule over a decade ago. The NCAA really should have looked at spygate and looked to their own rules to see if they had anything similarly dumb, and fixed it. Now they might be stuck enforcing it. And then changing it later the same way the NFL did. Everybody would be better served if they’d have fixed it back then.
IMO it’s not a terrible rule, going to electronic headsets would eliminate the issue except for the schools already losing money on football
What’s so hard to understand about everyone living by the rules and not cheating, make the argument at the rules committee meetings in the meantime live by the same rules 99.9% of everyone else does
