THE CZAR DECREES … If the College Football Czar could issue proclamations, changing college football, these are some of the things he would do:

* Penalize the poor sports – The College Football Czar loves last season’s new rule that makes unsportsmanlike conduct a spot foul, so that a player who taunts his opponents on his way into the end zone has the touchdown called back,

Oh boo-hoo

NEVER-NEVER take points off the board for a penalty unrelated to the play itself.

Take a page from hockey: suspend the player involved for the next series of downs that he would normally play in. He does it a second time: ejection.

NEVER-NEVER take points off the board for a penalty unrelated to the play itself.

The penalty in question is for taunting by the ball carrier WHILE he is running for a touchdown. Since the penalty is called BEFORE the touchdown has been scored, the penalty IS related to the play itself.
