I have seen several times now cops come yank students out of their seats for keeping balls kicked in the stands during halftime. I would throw it back if it was a USF ball, but this was the ECU kicker last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not souvenirs....as is the case with major league baseballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do the same thing in soccer. Back when Culverhouse owned the Bucs they even went into the stands and retrieved the ball if the fan didn't toss it back and if they could find the person.

Uf doesnt have nets either, and the ball gets kicked way into the stands, and it is always thrown back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't see what the big deal is, how many balls make it over the nets at our games? Maybe 1 or 2 a game. With all the $$ in college football, why not let the occasional fan come home with something, rater than make them feel like a criminal in the stands.
