It is unsavory to have coaches who can't beat or join the competition, try to change the rules for their own benefit.  It smacks of old industry trying to get laws passed that protect it from the realities of technological innovation and evolution, which really bothers me.  It's not like those disrupters were able to change the rules to find a firmer competitive footing.

I'm in the Ben Gardner camp on this one.  The game is always better when it's "fresh" and being constantly evolved.  Defenses will adapt.  They always do.  And if they don't new thinking and ideas from upstarts will be rewarded.  Perish the day when there is no "disruptive technology" available to a historically weak team to compete with the established powers in college football.
