Comparative evaluation of college football officials' attitudes toward NCAA mouthguard regulations and player compliance.

چکیده
A 12-item questionnaire addressing attitudes of football officials toward the 1990 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) mouthguard regulation was sent to all officials in the Southeastern Conference (N = 62). The response rate was 95% (59). Twenty-seven per cent of officials reported that all players were in compliance; 74% believed the new rule to be at least somewhat beneficial in determining player compliance, and 20% reported that the rule had resulted in more frequent player use. Twenty-two per cent reported they would ignore a mouthguard violation and none had charged a time-out or called a penalty during the 1991 season. Significant differences in the responses of Big East officials surveyed in a previous study were noted by the authors, when compared to the SEC, but both groups of officials strongly supported the idea that wearing mouthguards should be the responsibility of coaches rather than officials.
