Too many kids not properly securing helmets/wearing properly fitting helmets

Seemed like a helmet came off every other play last year. Pretty big safety risk to not do anything about

Targeting rule sucks though (see vandy & usce penalty)

I'm glad you thought this was important enough for it's own fricking thread

If your helmet fits and you keep all 4 of your straps snapped then it pretty much never comes off. And given the lawsuits filed against the NFL over concussions the NCAA is just trying to cover their asses.

I like the rule. Strap your damn helmet up tight and it rarely comes off.

Now all the kids that think they're cool cause they don't have a helmet on can sit out a play, they'll think twice about wearing their helmet properly

Kickoff rule sucks dick a lot more frequently than the helmet rule.

No it's not, wear it right and you wont have a problem most of the time. I was getting tired of seeing helmets come off all the time.

no it isnt

strap that shite on correctly and dont have massive dreads/long hair that makes it loose and it probably wont ever come off.

too bad so sad if you cant figure out how to strap it up.



now the new kickoff and onside kick rules? those blow goats.

I actually kind of like the helmet rule. It will surely put some emphasis on snapping your damn straps and getting a helmet that fits right. Your coach doesn't give a shite how "cool" you look...he's gonna be pissed if you have to miss a crucial play.
