[Extra Point]

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 don't think the hurry-up approach is an inovation designed to exploit the current defensive schemes. It is designed to exploit a flaw in the rules that don't allow defenses to adapt and use their full potential. It smacks of old industry complaining when the government corrects a tax loop hole that gives them an unfair advantage.
