I wasn't taking sides, just stating facts.  To sate my own curiosity, I looked into what happened.

From the article:
THUMBS DOWN - To those Illinois State University students who pelted Saluki football players and coaches with plastic footballs before last Saturday's game and at the half. The flying footballs led to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Redbirds.

That's what happened.  I'm not taking sides, agreeing or disagreeing with anyone...just presenting the facts.

OK. that's what I was trying to point out. At the game it was announced as "unsportmanlike conduct on the crowd". That's what my link was trying to refer to. Good find.

NCAA Div 1-AA Southern Illinois at Illinois State. Illinois State penalized twice (15 yards each) for crowd noise and throwing things on the field.

I was there. It was a blast.

The crowd noise rule was removed prior to the 2006 NCAA season.
 
If anyone would like to read the old rule, just go here and search under "crowd noise".

Is that simple enough, GW?

[font="Courier New"]Marauders,

No need to tell me, I posted no fake rule. I am not the one who tried to make it a '2006 rule, to the point of posting The '2006 rule book. Besides, I already pointed that out to him, twice. What really makes me mad is he cloggs my posts and challenges me on things; but tries that. Only thing that comment does is bring-up bad blood, towards his posts and that comment.

I am done, about him and the fake rule thing.[/font]

UGH!!!!!!

I already said the crowd noise rule was gone!!!!!!!!

I said it way up near the top.

BTW, The "crowd noise" rule was removed some time ago, but the authorities at the stadium have to control the crowd from disrupting the game and/or throwing things or the home team can get penalized after sufficient warning have been given.

Forget it, your a ____________.
