ChiefsPlanet - View Single Post - Football What's with "Half the distance to the goal?"

I've never really understood it either. If you are on the 20 yard line and take a personal foul, it sure seems to me like the ball should be placed on the 5 yard line, but it's placed on the 10 instead.

I tend to agree that they should just enforce it with no "half the distance" and just put it on the 1 yard line if the penalty would take it beyond the end zone. But I don't think that one's changing any time soon.
