Big Ten coaches diverge on NCAA kicking tee rule impact
Chicago UPI Big Ten coaches voiced mixed views on the NCAA rule restricting kicking tees to kickoffs. Bo Schembechler predicted major effects on offense, saying teams must improve field position as longer field goals fade. Francis Peay warned soccer-style kickers may suffer lift challenges, while Perles and Mallory saw little impact after spring practice. John Mackovic noted a bigger tee could reduce distance but improve accuracy.
