The NCAA football rules committee has just proposed moving up kickoffs from the 30-yard line to the 35, just like the NFL. They also want to limit the running start by members of the kicking team to five yards as a way of keeping players safer.

Here are some other rules the committee should consider.

• The required distance for a first down is now 3(Pi) yards -- to help players work on their math skills during the game.

• The coin flip at the beginning of every game will be done with a 1983 dime -- to commemorate the year that Brandon Weeden was born.

• Defensive linemen can continue to rush as soon as the ball is snapped, however, linebackers will need to count to three Mississippi.

• Marching bands will be replaced by string quartets -- to eliminate the chance of anyone in the stands getting a trombone-induced concussion.

• Players can secretly get paid, they just can't cash the check until every member of their recruiting class graduates.

• Just before the ball is snapped, wishbone offense quarterbacks must declare whether or not they plan on pitching it to a back.

• All incoming field goal kickers committed to Boise State must provide VIDEO PROOF of connecting on at least one field goal of over 20 yards in high school.

Is that 3 x pi or pi3?

Okay the kicking reference is just mean, funny but mean.  My new job will be in shredding checks that have no chance to ever get cashed.  I shall be rich. LOL

Allowing the use of three digit numbers but ONLY when the player's IQ is equal to that number (pretty much eliminating the use of these numbers outside of the Ivy League and Service Academies).

That used to include Vanderbilt and Stanford, but I'm not so sure anymore.
