Why wait to correct a bad rule and improve the game?

Don't stand on technicalities. Policies and procedures are meant to serve the mission. If they get in the way of it, you change the policies and procedures rather than compromise the mission to serve what's written in your handbook.

Because you're taking away an opportunity from teams who find themselves in that situation whoay be competing with UO for the B1G championship or a CFP bid. Changing it now is like giving Oregon two "wins" -- "were going to let your W stand, but we'll also make sure no one else can secure a win in the same manner".

E.g. If Penn State plays Oregon in the CCG and finds themselves in the same situation UO was in vs OSU, but can't leverage the same rules UO did earlier in the year, that seems patently unfair.

I'm struggling to see this as anything different that trying to turn 'two wrongs' into a 'right'.

I understand what you're saying about why wait, but I think the rule correction needs to be at the end of the season.

So you lament that we won't see that bs again this year? I don't relate.

No, not lamenting.

Clearly the rule wasn't well thought out. Clearly it should be changed.

And, I believe it's unfair to let UO have had an opportunity to secure a win that nobody else competing with them for a conference or CFP will have.

Changing rules mid-season is bush league. The XFL did crap like that, IIRC.

Hard to argue against this.

On the other hand, it might stop OSU from losing multiple games in a season due to a dumb rule.

All I know is that I'm glad I won't have to worry about CU losing due to it and I also don't want to win a game in that way.
 
Modifying it was an easy enough fix to close the loophole that existed with this rule so it makes sense to change it now to prevent a team from utilizing this loophole again. It also took a very unique set of circumstances for this situation to come up in the first place.

Can they change the Hip Drop Tackle Rule like the NFL has, and give Omarion an extra year? That tackle was bush league, has anyone been asked about that tackle

He still has his regular RS available, although I assume he's played in more than 4 games this year, so he might not be eligible to use it. However, I think there's a chance he could be eligible for a medical RS based on the requirements. They'd have to argue that while he technically played in more than 3 games, he really only saw a small amount of PT in each game.

Honestly, though, if he gets back to 100% health and is WR1 next year as most expect, he's probably looking at the NFL in 2026 anyways.

I worry that he has a strong standing CASH offer from Nebraska to transfer there. I pray that he stays, and he should easily be our #1 guy, but who knows about the relationship and our QB.

That is where he was going to go before he flipped to us, there is constant reference to it, and they have a solid QB moving forward and a crap-ton of cash, and he has honestly gotten a lot of disrespect, especially when they brought in Sheppard, who it not better than him, but apparently we needed him.
