You beat me to it G

Having all lineman stand instead of taking a four-point or three point stance would as he says, change the game to more wide open passing. And his reasoning is that many of the negative long term effects of constant trench head banging could be minimized with the rule change.

I thought after reading the article yesterday if a conference like the MAC put in that rule would it initially increase the TV ratings or completely wipe them out...a new type of MACtion!
