About seven or eight years ago, the NCAA's football committee considered adding communication equipment to select player's helmets. It would allow coaches to relay plays directly to them without the need for elaborate systems using hand gestures or display boards — let alone concerns over opponents stealing those signals.
EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN - OCTOBER 21: Head coach Jim Harbaugh of the Michigan Wolverines reacts on the sideline during the first half of a college football game against the Michigan State Spartans at Spartan Stadium on October 21, 2023 in East Lansing, Michigan. About seven or eight years ago, the NCAA’s football committee considered adding communication equipment to select player’s helmets.
“It became an avalanche of ‘this seems like a pain in the ass’ and the topic was tabled,” one committee member told Yahoo Sports. This would be a brazen violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of the NCAA rule. The rule is the rule and the NCAA should enforce it. In this case, it’s against the rules because it was allegedly stolen in a particular manner . Yet if any of the people who allegedly “scouted” for Stalions had simply gone to the game, filmed a team’s signals and then posted it on YouTube for the world to see, it would oddly have been OK.
Rhule rightfully pointed out he wasn’t excusing any advanced scouting. That’s prohibited and everyone knows it.
