Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 5305759, member: 622"] I believe the [B]pre-snap throw[/B] privilege (a.k.a. the Big 10 Special Pass Rule) is reserved for the golden-parachuted referees. Essentially, the "incentive" provided to a referee is large enough to provide the referee with the ability to "retire" with a "golden-parachute". Obviously, this privilege is reserved for the teams with the deepest pocketed boosters and should be used sparingly so as not to encourage frequent use of the privilege. [Translation: Refs will get too greedy!] It is strongly recommended, though not specifically reserved for, to limit the use of the [B]pre-snap throw[/B] to important games; such as conference championships, CFB play-offs, and a few select rival games which impact the entirety of CFBdom, like UConn v. UCF in the Civil Conflict. See: NCAA Rules of College Football, Section 358.a.15.iii. [/QUOTE]
