I noticed this on the VCU webcast too. I think the reason why they're letting a lot more go is because of the bumpers reducing the damage, but I still don't like all of the ramming. It takes away from the offense and gives a lot more power to the defense. I don't think this should be. They should call the ramming like they've done in previous years, regardless of the bumpers.
