No More Halo
The NCAA football rules committee has eliminated the two-yard "halo" rule on punt returns. Their reasoning is in part that the halo gave returners a false sense of security and led to them taking unnecessary hits.
The result: The near-extinction of the game-changing, crowd-pleasing punt-return TD in favor of the ubiquitous "fair catch"; and watch the scary trend of returners bold (or stupid) enough not to fair catch getting hurt.

Now they will really get hammered on punt returns.
