NEW YORK (AP) — Round 1 in the fight over pace of play in college football goes to those who have the need for speed.

The NCAA football rules committee tabled a proposal Wednesday that would have penalized offenses for snapping the ball before 10 seconds had run off the 40-second play clock.

After a conference call, the committee decided not to send the so-called 10-second rule to the playing rules oversight panel for approval Thursday.

"What the committee agreed to do was table that proposal to allow time to gather more information from the medical community and allow time for a broader discussion for the implications of that change," NCAA national coordinator of officials Rogers Redding told the AP on Wednesday.

Good. If they want to change the rules because they don't like what it does to the quality of play, fine. But don't pretend you want to change it because the hurry up somehow contributes to injury concerns.

10-second rule has been tabled, that's good news

What about the 5-second rule? As it pertains to items in the trash bin
