Within a plush hotel ballroom in Indianapolis two days before the national championship game in January, Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell stood in front of more than 100 attendees at a ceremony in which he graciously accepted the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award.
Before exiting the stage, the host asked him a single question: What is the one rule in the sport you would like to see changed?
Fickell did not hesitate: “We’ve got to stop ejecting players from college football.”
