What are some stupid in-game rules that will never change?

Just rules you see during a game. Not recruiting, transfer, scholarship, education, etc.

Never been a big fan of a fumble going out of the end zone being a touchback.

 

[NolePride]

Never been a fan of the recovering team being able to advance a muff on a punt or being
able to advance recovering a fumble on a kickoff.

I didn't type that correctly.

Should have been..."Never been a fan of the recovering team NOT being able to advance a muff on a punt or
NOT being able to advance recovering a fumble on a kickoff."

I agree. It should be spotted where the ball carrier loses the ball.

For me is the QB slide. If nothing else, they should spot the ball where he begins the slide and becomes a penalty to hit. Personally, I think it is a stupid rule all together. Encourage them to lower shoulder, go out of bounds, or slide when defenders are 5 yards away and hitting you would be a late hit.

Players holding up 4 fingers at the end of the 3rd quarter. Hate it with a passion

I talked with some of the players and they were willing to change it for you.

It's worked great for Iowa in the past.
