Old rule question

I'm watching Ohio state v. Michigan 1990 on espn Classic right now, the game was at OSU. Michigan qb keeps motioning the crowd to quiet down. When I saw this I said what an idiot, but apparently there was an old crowd noise rule. The referee told the crowd to quiet down. Then qb did it again. OSU announcer came over the PA and told their own crowd to quiet down while Michigan was on offense. Crowd kept being loud and referee penalized Ohio state by calling a timeout on them. I have never heard of this. Was this a universal rule or just typical big ten pansy asses?

I wish "giving him the business" was a more used penalty. Would cheer that announcement every time

Anybody ever witness this in a stadium? I would think it would make the crowd louder. That rule defeats the purpose of even going to a game

It was passed, and tinkered with, during the mid '80's.
Today, Rule 1-1-6 defines those subject to the rules and officiating decisions:
Everyone in the team area, players, substitutes, replaced players, coaches, athletics trainers, cheerleaders, band members, mascots, public-address announcers, audio and video system
operators, and other persons affiliated with the teams or institutions.

"Rules changes for 2006"
...that reminds me of a clock change that year. 2006 changed to: clock starts, on a free kick, when the ball is kicked.
I think I remember it was Baylor, who went up by a couple of points with less than a minute to play in a game. The coach told his kicker to kick it out of bounds and keep kicking it out of bounds until the clock ran out.
People went nuts, but he simply used the rule to his benefit. Next year that got rid of that change.

It's my recollection that went back to the 70's, Anybody recall this to?

I believe a big 10 team did that too. Minn? Possibly

That was Bert, he did it to JoePa and Penn State that year.

There was this retarded rule in the late 80's/early 90's that the home team could get a penalty if there was too much crowd noise when the opponent was at the line trying to make calls.
The refs would warn the crowd to be quiet and if they didn't the home team would get a penalty.
This absolutely retarded rule lasted like 2-3 years.
I remember it distinctly because the opening game in 1993 I was at the Alabama/Tulane game and Tulane had the ball pinned at their own 1 and the crowd was making a ton of noise and Tulane QB indicated he couldn't hear and the ref warned the crowd to stop making noise which just made the crowd even louder, the ref just ignored him the 2nd time.
The twist ending to this story? The Tulane RB got outside on that very play and ran 99 yards for a TD.
We won 31-17 anyway.
