After the 1982 season the NCAA changed the pass interference rule from a spot foul to a 15-yard penalty. The catalyst for the change was a controversial call late in the fourth quarter of the 1982 SMU-Arkansas game. The 40-yard penalty enabled the Mustangs to escape with a 17-17 tie and preserve the SWC title.

∙ 14y agoDefense Pass Interference (DPI) has not changed recently in the NCAA rules. It has "always" been a spot of the foul penalty, but not to exceed 15 yards from the line of scrimmage. So, if the infraction occurs 8 yards downfield it is an 8 yard penalty. If it occurs 52 yards downfield it is a 15 yard penalty.

In the NFL what occurs when there is a defensive pass interference?
Automatic First DownThere shall be no interference with a forward pass thrown from behind the line, is one rule about interference. Defensive pass interference is called when a defensive player interferes with a receiver's attempt to catch the ball. If the defender makes contact with the receiver, it is pass interference, unless the contact is incidental, or done in order to make a play on the ball. For example the defensive player can knock the ball down, even if he has to contact the receiver to do it. But he cannot push the receiver, trip him, grab his arm, pull his shirt, etc. Typically referees will call pass interference if the defensive player makes contact with the receiver but is not looking back at the ball.When defensive pass interference is called, the offense receives an automatic first down, and the ball is placed where the interference occurred. If the interference occurs in the end zone, the ball is placed on the one yard line. Pass interference cannot be challenged once called.

Can there be a pass interference behind the line of scrimmage in college football In the NFL there is no pass interference possible on passes that do not go past the line of scrimmage?
In the NFL, there is no such thing as pass interference (PI) on forward passes that do not go past the line scrimmage but I recently watched a college football game in which a PI was called on a forward that never reached the line of scrimmage even though I always believed that there is no such thing as PI if such pass was in the backfield (behind the line of scrimmage). So I am not clear on the rule concerning passes that do not cross the line of scrimmage, in college football.
