[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 1037106, member: 2426"] I said it isn't a perfect analogy. There was a lot of moral outrage about corporations operating in such a way as to exactly follow the tax law as written to avoid paying a large percentage of taxes. The public was not upset about the way the laws were written, they were upset that large corporations were using the law as written to their advantage. Have you ever driven 75 mph in a 70 mph speed limit freeway? By golly, you were publicly flouting and violating the law that is written for public safety. This rule is treated in college football similar to the speed limit laws. Every team does this. UNC did this a few times while GT was on offense yesterday. The way the rule is written, and the consequences are the issue. If GT refuses to do this, they will be at a disadvantage in every game this year. I do not like it any more than the people who are complaining in this thread. However, I believe the solution is to modify the rules. The solution is not to unilaterally hold yourself to a different set of rules. In fact, I would very much like it if some team did this on every single defensive snap for an entire season. That would ensure that some change was made to the rule. (I would not want GT to be that team) [/QUOTE]
