On college football sidelines, it’s probably going to take time to get used to hearing referees tell players to pull down their pants.
But that’s where we are, as officials will be policing the uniforms of players like never before.
A new NCAA rule will make players go to the sideline until they are compliant. Among the requirements: Jerseys cannot be rolled up to expose a stomach or a shirt, back plates cannot be exposed and, most notably, the entire knee must be covered.
“A rule’s a rule, but I’ve got long legs, so it’s going to be tough,” Boise State senior STUD end Jabril Frazier said.
