North Texas pulled off one of the all-time great trick plays in Saturday’s 44-17 win over Arkansas.
Now, the NCAA wants to make a rule change that will prevent a play like this ever happening again.
In case missed it, North Texas pulled off this fake fair catch on an Arkansas punt:

According to Tommy Craft of ESPN:
Was told earlier today that NCAA FB Rules committee is considering a rule amendment possibly as soon as this weekend to close any loophole that would allow a Punt Return similar to UNT’s 90 yd score vs ARK

Remember a whistle is not required for the play to be dead-this play is pure deception which the rules frown upon when it’s considered an unfair act https://t.co/wts1sNx5Bw
