PROTECTION OF DEFENSELESS PLAYERS—Football players are wellconditioned,
skilled athletes involved in aggressive, contested competition.
Players also have responsibilities to their teams and their opponents to
play within the rules.
Due to the combative nature of the game, players usually are alert and
aware of legal contacts by opponents. Therefore, injuries are minimized.
However, certain aspects of play require a higher level of concentration.
The resulting vulnerability places players involved in these aspects in an
unprotected (defenseless) status.
The following are situations in which defenseless players are susceptible
to serious injury:
• the quarterback moving down the line of scrimmage who has handed
or pitched the ball to a teammate, and then makes no attempt to participate
further in the play;
• the kicker who is in the act of kicking the ball, or who has not had a
reasonable length of time to regain his balance following the kick;
• the passer who is in the act of throwing the ball, or who has not had a
reasonable length of time to participate in the play again after releasing
the ball;
• the pass receiver whose concentration is on the ball;

• the pass receiver who has clearly relaxed when the pass is no longer
catchable;
• the kick receiver whose attention is on the downward flight of the ball;
• the kick receiver who has just touched the ball;
• the player who has relaxed once the ball has become dead; and
• the player who is obviously out of the play.
These players are protected by rules that have been in place for many
years. It is of the utmost importance that participants, coaches and game
officials carefully and diligently observe safety rules.
Intentional helmet-to-helmet contact is never legal, nor is any other blow
directed toward an opponent’s head. Flagrant offenders shall be disqualified.
Das ist die praktisch Wörtliche Übersetzung aus den US College Regelbuch.

Wie schon im Titel dieses Link zu ersehen sind dies die Regeln 2004 nach denen wir in 2005 spielen.
Schau halt auf Seite 12 nach.
Aber dennoch hast Du recht. Die Regeln sind in Deutschland angepasst der Ehrenkodex ist in Deutschland 4 Seiten lang in USA jedoch 6,5. Das liegt bestimmt nicht an der Schriftgröße.
Wenn jemand möchte, dass eine Regel in Deutschland außer Kraft, anders formuliert oder auch verstärkt wird (z.B. Stollen), dann geschied dies über die BSO. Wende Dich an den für Deinen Landesverband zuständigen im BSA und dieser kann dann den Antrag stellen für so eine Änderung. Da es hier wie Schanzer schon richtig schrieb keine Regelkomitee gibt. Es gibt keinen Grund, warum diese Mitglieder dies ohne Antrag machen sollen. Den genauen Ablauf dafür findest Du in der BSO 05/06 ab Seite 3.
Vergiss aber bitte nicht, umso mehr Sonderregelungen in Deutschland wir hier haben, desto schwerer fällt es uns im internationalen Vergleich. Dort gilt strickt NCAA. Ohne Ausnahme.
