After three weeks of controversy, the NCAA Football Rules Committee has withdrawn a rule proposal that would have slowed down hurry-up offenses.
In a teleconference Wednesday afternoon, the 12-member committee chose not to send the proposal forward to the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, according to a person with knowledge of the meeting. The person spoke on the condition of the anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
The Playing Rules Oversight Panel was scheduled to consider any rule changes on Thursday.
No wonder Saban is so brassed off today. Must have gotten a heads up.

Jim Rome:
"Does anybody have a smoke for Nick Saban? Because Sabes has injected cigarettes into the battle of the 10-second rule.
"Team Saban has maintained that fast offenses lead to more injuries, and when confronted with the fact that there's no direct evidence, he sparked a Marlboro. "I guess you have to use some logic…If you smoke one cigarette, do you have the same chance of getting cancer if you smoke 20? I guess there's no study that specifically says that."
"It sounds like Nicky Satan is smoking something a lot stronger than cigs. So what you're saying is… If you grub one little Debby Snack Cake before the Iron Bowl… You have less chance of getting a gut than if you come home that night and grub 15 after gagging the Iron Bowl. That's a fact.
"But you firing off the old "player safety" flare gun because you can't stop Auburn is your biggest BS since you lied about leaving South Beach.
"You tell me- which is more dangerous for the players: Spreading them out and attacking with up-tempo athletes like the best offenses do -OR- bringing in two tight ends and smashing D's with 1950s attacks up the middle like YOUR team does? Why don't you and your little buddy Lane Kiffin coach 'em up and keep cancer out your mouth?
"Until I see a surgeon general's warning slapped across the spread offense… The only thing that's getting smoked is your defense.
"This is a bad look, it's beneath you, and you should should quit your crying cold turkey."

I hate Jim Rome but enjoyed this for some reason.

John Feinstein rants on Saban:

I asked myself a question this morning. I said, "Self, if Gus was trying to sneak a rules proposal in for faster play under the guise of player safety or whateva, would you be upset?" The answer is yes. I don't like rules changes UNLESS an overwhelming majority of the football world sees the need for player safety.
This whole scenario only further perpetuates Saban's reputation as a misleading and self-serving individualist. I think this failure actually ends up doing more harm to him. But, if stepping over a convulsing player didn't hurt his recruiting efforts then I don't know if anything will.

Another medical drop in the works.

Hey. It's for the player's safety!

"Stepping over a convulsing player" is an urban legend - that little fucker had to walk around said player, unless someone gave him a boost

Still here. I look in every so often, but have mostly been busy with kids, work.......you know, real life.
As for the 10 second rule, I posted my feelings on Saban's stance when this shit first hit the news. Do I believe that there is a player safety issue? No. I don't think that he is happy that he is going to have to make some fundamental changes to the way his defense works. I said it after the Oklahoma curb stomping that the defense, mainly the DL, needs to retool. Alabama has to start getting away from having 300+ pound DL all across the line. They need to start moving towards some lighter, fast-twitch kind of guys. Some of the guys in this recent signing class fit that description. College football is changing, and Saban is going to have to change with it.
Do I support the basic premise of giving the defense a 10 second window to sub regardless of what the offense does? Yes. It won't slow down a hurry-up offense at all. If that offense is moving the ball, it's going to take at least 10 seconds for everyone to get back on their feet, move down the field and receive the signals from the sideline. Even on a no gain play, you're still talking 10 seconds. It will cause more issues schematically for a defense, really. It will cause more too many players on the field penalties. But it will allow you to change personnel. Push that rule based on its own merits, just don't push it under the guise of player safety.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Nicky sees the handwriting on the wall for the next 7 fingers. Why else would Dinky fuck with the rules at all? Because AU can now have SPUAT on the ropes by the second half.
