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.

Defense 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.
