Each team will supply 24 footballs -- 12 primary and 12 backup -- two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff. Previously, the home team provided 24 balls while visitors only had to provide 12. Two members of the officiating crew, as designated by the referee, will inspect the footballs to make sure they meet specifications. Previously, that job belonged to the referee. For the first time, records will be kept of footballs' pre-kickoff PSI measurements. Footballs that fall within the acceptable PSI range (12.5-13.5 PSI) will be approved for game play. Those falling outside the range will either be inflated or deflated to 13.0 PSI.

What's to keep them from shuffling in a ball that doesn't meet those standards? Unless an official is the only one touching balls from both teams before they go into play the problem persists.

Seems like they could've just done this from the beginning and been done with this whole thing 6 months ago

I guess that gives an extra job for someone to support themselves...

It won't affect the outcome so no one will care.

Whatever maintains fair play on the field is a good thing. No need to be like that.
