Wayne T. Smith said, > doesn't this whole set of complex instructions sound like overkill? Yep, add them to the already 345 (and counting) page NCAA manual. More NCAA consistency or regimentation? 43:00 hours clocks starts 24:00 hours guys take a leak (whoops my mistake) Player injury should be the paramount issue! Is It? There's a whole lot of ink on regimentation ( protocal involving teams, officials and game personnel) which seems only conducive to cost effectiveness (i.e. time saved, cost saved thus padding the NCAA pocket book). Speak up anybody, if I'm out of line on this one, or any one of these NCAA imperatives (except player safety ) !? What about all the extenuating circumstances that can cause games to be delayed,(i.e. mechanical: clock, zamboni and ice re-surfacing, etc.). Will teams then be penalized due to delays beyond their control? Where's that rule? Hilton Head, South Carolina...huh....spendy place..... Price (-:
