I think the lack of spot foul helps encourage the diversity of the collegiate game. The reward/risk ratio for spot fouls tilts heavily in favor of wide open, down the field passing attacks; keeping it a set yardage eliminates some of the potential reward for bombing away, thus helping to keep things like option offenses viable, and helping the college game get away from the cookie cutter offensive tendencies of the NFL.


Well said. I am very much of the opinion that spot fouls are not needed and that 15 yard penalties are the way to go.

Why does defensive pass interference warrant a spot foul but offensive pass interference 10 yards?

Because most every rule implemented in recent history has been designed to give the offense an advantage.

Spot fouls on pass interference are awful.
