Uhhhhh.....neither? I love the wide hash marks. And I hate any rule change that aids the passing game.

Damn, it I typed up a long response, and then it didn't post. Short answer, I agree with Sam. These are probably the two rule changes that most aided opening up offenses, but the hashmarks at least also helps the running game, particularly the jet sweeps that MSU adopted very effectively last year. I do miss the WLB/SLB distinctions mattering so much. I did enjoy the strategy in the more traditional or wishbone options of running it behind your better blockers towards the shortside of the field, or going wideside but behind your worse blockers. So, I'd prefer eliminating both rule changes, but of the two, I'd rather go back to actually calling holding on pass plays. At least they started calling ineligible man downfield on RPOs last year.

The hashmark rule did two things, among others . I felt it hampered triple option offenses a bit and it made field goal kicking more accurate. Of course it aided other offenses.

I'd like both gone...

Where were CFB hash marks before? At the HS width? And when were they moved in? They've been at 40' as long as I've been paying attention.

They moved each in about 7 feet in 1993

The college football standard, which was the previous standard in the NFL (1945–1971), is 40 feet apart, (20 yards from the sidelines) introduced in 1993.
Previously, the college width was the same as the high school standard, at one-third of the width of the field (531⁄3 feet).
