Instant Replay is coming to College Football.

"The response to video replay nationally and in the Big Ten was overwhelmingly positive," said Chuck Broyles, the coach at Pittsburg State and chairman of the rules committee. "When we have the ability to correct a potentially game-changing error, and we have the technology to do so, we feel this improves the fairness of the game and directly improves the student-athlete experience."

Nobody wants to lose on a game changing play, but football purists (such as myself) will undoubtedly cringe at the thought. First of all, the NFL has had countless iterations of instant replay, none of which seemed to work very well. At least the current NFL system minimizes the delay of the game.

But another untold problem of instant replay is that it tends to degrade the quality of officiating. In the NFL, the number of challenges seems to be increasing. Although bad calls were sometimes a problem, it was nowhere near the 3 or 4 calls per game, which it seems like are challenged now-a-days.

I'm sure many will disagree, but then again I think the Designated Hitter should be outlawed, and the inventor Astroturf drawn and quartered.
