Just to change the subject here's what the NCAA says you can't do anymore:

Unsportsmanlike acts.

Added listing of examples developed by CCA supervisors of
officials and others to this section to encourage more consistent application of this rule:
“Examples of such acts include, but are not limited to:
--Imitating a slash of the throat;
--Resembling the firing of a weapon;
--Bowing at the waist;
--Punching one’s own chest excessively;
--Crossing one’s arms in front of the chest;
--Placing one’s hand by the ear as if to indicate that the player cannot hear the spectators;
--Diving into the end zone when unchallenged by an opponent;
--Entering the end zone with an unnatural stride (e.g., high stepping);
--Going significantly beyond the end line to interact with spectators;
--Standing over a prone player in a taunting manner;
--Attempting to make the ball spin as it were a top;
--Performing a choreographed act with a teammate(s) (e.g., pretending to take a photo,
falling down in unison); and
--Entering the field of play by coaches or substitutes in protest of officials’ calls.

aka most things that are fun!

This is a sport. It is supposed to be entertaining. To me, the only thing that should be regulated is when you try and embarrass you opponent. This is where you can get into trouble. When someone did this to me, I did not get mad, I got even.

I still teach my son to act like you have done it before. Just keep beating the $h!t out of the person and say nothing. After the game, you and your buddies can laugh all you want.

I think the NCAA argues they let the guys get away with a lot of verbal taunts all game, so they are trying to limit anything physical.

Can't let the games get out of hand in that respect.
