College Football Officiating 2011: Not Better
"The rules committee realized the pendulum had swung too far," Anderson, the Big 12’s coordinator of officiating, told his crews during a College Football Officiating clinic Saturday.

But the problem is that this exists at all:
A new NCAA rule makes excessive celebration a spot foul, which means if you taunt or showboat before the ball has reached the end zone, it’s a live-ball penalty. No touchdown.
As long as Ron Cherry strolls a sideline, all precious touchdowns are endangered touchdowns. Don’t ever forget.
