He CANT make the motion and immediately snap the ball...how many times do I have to say this in how many different ways?

Since you've passed the HS test and have such superior knowledge of the NCAA rule book, do you have an A.R. that substantiates your claim?

Jesus, you are pathetic. I'm guessing your "expert status" and "superior knowledge" of the rules allows you to offer your commentary on how the move was not illegal. How's that for putting words in your mouth.

I've passed the test, I can read an NCAA rule book. The move is illegal. Meyer used the "exception to the cadence" to an extreme and the officials bought it. End of story.

Like the announcer in the Bama game. LOS is the 15. DPI in the EZ. Announcer says "That's half the distance to the goal line". I thought I would spit out my diet coke laughing.

Well, it used to be - he just didn't get the memo.

Kinda like Greg Bowser on the replay of some game last year - whoever LSU was playing got flagged for intentionl grounding late in the game and he was explaining how it was going to be a 10 second runoff and then he couldn't figure out why the clock wasn't run out.

Oh and Spencer Tillman explained to me that if the runner places the ball on the ground while maintaining posession, that it becomes dead at that point.

Sonny Boy, my first year officiating was '74 so it's a safe bet I was officiating before you were even born. I've forgotten more about the rules than you'll ever learn.
Now, run along and study some more....you certainly need to.

The center is still supposed to move to a set position for a full second before snapping the ball. He did not.

This is getting better and better. You sure about that Sport?

Apparently so:

Another repost for clarification...

Shifts and False Starts
ARTICLE 4. a. If a snap is preceded by a huddle or shift, all players of the
offensive team must come to an absolute stop and remain stationary in their
positions, without movement of the feet, body, head or arms, for at least one
full second before the ball is snapped (A.R. 7-1-4-I) [S20].
b. It is not intended that Rule 7-1-4-a should prohibit smooth, rhythmical
shifts if properly executed. A smooth cadence shift or unhurried motion
is not an infraction. However, it is the responsibility of an offensive
player who moves before the snap to do so in a manner that in no way
simulates the beginning of a play. After the ball is ready for play and
all players are in scrimmage formation, no offensive player shall make
a quick, jerky movement before the snap, including but not limited to
(A.R. 7-1-4-II-IV):
1. A lineman moving his foot, shoulder, arm, body or head in a quick,
jerky motion in any direction [S19].
2. The snapper shifting or moving the ball or moving his thumb or
fingers, flexing his elbows, jerking his head, or dipping his shoulders
or buttocks [S19].
3. The quarterback “chucking’’ his hands at the snapper, flexing his
elbows under the snapper, jerking his head or dropping his shoulders
quickly just before the snap [S19].
4. A player, before the snap, simulating receiving the ball by “chucking’’
his hands toward the snapper or quarterback or making any quick,
jerky movement that simulates the beginning of a play [S19].

Well, he was just talking about "his pregame."

I'm really hoping that he's not in my association.

I'm not talking about football in that scenario.

Another example of you having no clue what the rule addresses. Not a clue. It's what happens when someone grabs a rule book and *thinks* they know.
