I vaguely remember some mentions of germs lasting longer on Field Turf. Field Turf is also a faster surface, and which I assume correlates to harder hits and possibly CTE.

Should college administrators revisit the safety of Field Turf or is this a settled argument?

Much of the game has been reengineered , via rule changes and strategy , to make passing and hurry up offenses more favorable . Should some of the rules be revisited for their safety?

Since this post is about safety, We should also bring back ties. Overtime is unneeded imo.

On ties/overtime

I've never been a fan of overtime for college football. Some of the most exciting end-of-game situations I remember before overtime were when teams would be down 1 with very little time left after a TD and most often going for 2 with the result deciding who wins and who loses.

I also don't like the current overtime rules. The rules make it a different game than was played for the first 60 minutes.

I feel the same way for the same reasons. *
