Watching the Miami game I am pretty sure this is what they will wear for pants soon in CFB.
The pants just keep getting shorter and shorter. Even though as far as I know the rule still says they must cover the knee.

On one hand I dont really care, but at one point they really pushed that rule, seems weird that they appear to not change the rule but also not care about it.
On the other hand when they get as short as some of these guys are wearing, it looks a little weird.
The rule requiring knee pads that cover the knee is still on the books, in both college and high school. Yet all you see on football fields everywhere are thigh-length pants with the knees uncovered.
It’s one thing to change a uniform rule. It’s entirely another for officials and sanctioning bodies to simply ignore a rule that remains in the rule book simply because it’d be too much trouble to enforce..
