It's obviously got people talking about Eastern Washington.

I have no problem with it. If teams had an issue, just don't schedule to play them.

I though the NCAA banned anything except green and Boise was just grandfathered.

Is the ban just for 1-A schools, perhaps?

No, there's no ban. I guess it was discussed but it never was passed. I believe that they're reconsidering the issue now, and if they do make a rule, these two schools will obviously be grandfathered in, just like LSU is with every 5 yards being marked on their field.

I think that's right Cat. I-AA schools can do whatever the fuck they want lol. But, I do think that those rules only go for I-A

This would have been perfect for Hawaii before they changed their name from the Rainbow Warriors.

No such rule exist.

SECTION 2. The Field
Dimensions
ARTICLE 1. The field shall be a rectangular area with dimensions, lines,
zones, goals and pylons as indicated and titled in the diagrams on pages
FR-18-19.
a. All field-dimension lines shown must be marked 4 inches in width
with a white, nontoxic material that is not injurious to the eyes or skin
(Exceptions: Sidelines and end lines may exceed 4 inches in width, goal
lines may be 4 or 8 inches in width, and Rule 1-2-1-g).
b. Twenty-four-inch short yard-line extensions, four inches inside the
sidelines and at the inbounds lines, are mandatory; and all yard lines
shall be four inches from the sidelines (Rule 2-11-7).
c. A solid white area between the sideline and the coaching line is
mandatory.
d. White field markings or contrasting decorative markings (e.g., logos,
team names, emblems, event, etc.) are permissible in the end zones but
shall not be closer than four feet to any line.
e. Contrasting coloring in the end zones may abut any line.
f. Contrasting decorative markings are permissible within the sidelines and
between the goal lines but shall not obliterate yard lines, goal lines or
sidelines.
g. Goal lines may be of one contrasting color from the white lines.

Black would look better. The red just isn't 'vibrant'. It's a dull drying blood color.

Jet black would be interesting, though, I agree.
