First of all it doesn't promote safety because in the penn state / fukk face game i'm watching right now a dude lost his helment while being tacked and got hit DURING the play and was ktfo for second...did that rule help him?
Secondly, it is an easy way to take a player out of a game in a pivotal moment if you're slick...in a pile its easy to slip a helmet off...if so they're gone for a play, plus it will promote MORE high hits because its now a bonus.
i can GUARANTEE someone like...oh I DONT KNOW...william golston from michigan state will rip off a dudes helmet during a pivotal moment in a game just so the next play that player has to be off the field
watch, their game at wisconsin, its gonna happen to montee ball in the 4th quarter on the goal line
