re: any florida players suspended for this weekend after brawl w/ FSU?

The chalk line is considered fair territory. Runners interference occurs when a runner interferes with a fielder making an attempt on the ball. There doesn't need to be collision, and it doesn't necessarily matter if collision occurs after the interference. When the batter-runner is running to first and veers inside the baseline or even stays outside but makes a step toward the fielders, it should be ruled that he is interfering if the fielder doesn't field the ball. The runner must yield or adjust his path to give room to a fielder.

They should have called the batter-runner out and advanced any runners in a force position on the bases by one base.

batter-runner should be out yes, but the other runners would be returned to the last legally occupied base.
