Buried nugget in the campus paper. “Increased attention is being focused on the sidelines this year because a NCAA ruling makes it possible for home field advantage in playoffs to be lost if students rush the field.” Not to argue, but does anyone really think the NCAA will bypass The Rock and its playoff receipts if kids rush the field tonight?
