Committee proposes rule changes

Taunting
If passed, players who draw flags for taunting gestures on their way to a touchdown would have the penalty assessed from the spot of the foul, taking away the score. Penalties that occur in the end zone would continue to be assessed on the extra-point attempt, 2-point conversion try or ensuing kickoff.

Concussion
If approved, injured players - including those with concussion symptoms - would have to be cleared by a doctor before returning to competition.

Other topics discussed at the meeting include:

• Television monitors will be allowed in the press box coaches' booths beginning in 2011. The home team has responsibility for insuring that coaches' booths for both teams have identical television capability.
• Requiring players who wear "eye black'' to use solid black with no words, logos, numbers or other symbols. That will be effective next season.
• Ending the requirement that players' pants always cover the knees.
• Eliminating the intentional "wedge'' on kickoffs and punts, a rule the NFL adopted last season.
• Recommending conferences that do not have a pregame warm-up policy use a 10-yard, no-player zone between the 45-yard lines beginning 60 minutes before kickoff.

It still is. He isn't the only one to do that.

It still is. He isn't the only one to do that.

But he's the one that it is cool to hate on.

LSU wrote #1 defense on theirs. We popped that bubble.

The others aren't as nationally celebrated. Ergo wouldn't be getting as much of a national story.
