    If it harms SC recruiting in the future more than UW's I could be behind it...

    Won't be long until it's the law of the land anyway, well except for SEC country.

    I'm pretty sure rugby doesn't have a problem of turning out mentally handicapped people? So why not just remove the pads and helmets that promote the illusion you can just run full speed at someone and collide. Totally avoiding the physicality of the sport by removing any tackling though is ignorant as fuck.

    Rugby has less serious injuries than football but it's a constant grind. Football pads are counter productive, you essentially weaponize the body with plastic and metal that give false confidence to go as hard as possible.

    True, Bring back the leather helmets with no face masks and problem solved.
    Remove the forward pass and even better

    No I say open up the passing game even moar. Allow for more motion at the snap. Basically line up and move however the fuck you want as long as you're not offsides at the snap.

    Sends the PAC

    Yikes. We might as well not even play the games if this passes.

    Back in the day, Hawaii had barefoot football leagues, for middle school I think.
