Why is illegal touching such a bad penalty to deserve loss of down and yards?
How is it worse than holding or delay of game? No one gets hurt and it’s due entirely to negligence and not malice. What’s the reason for such severe punishment?

My guess would be the same logic behind intentional grounding

Intentional grounding I get- you knew you were doing it and so you don’t get a do over.

Often times it's called in the same situation.

Intentional Grounding is actually a penalty with no impact.

But you're preventing the offense from being able to cheaply avoid the sack

One reason I can think of — is so coaches don't try to sneak one past the refs.

But that's somewhat true of many penalties.

Arkansas one was actually an OL who caught it; also, KJ was probably down...

So Rex needs to stop catching them and it's just 5 yards?

No, the receivers/backs need to learn not to cover up the TE. It's inexcusable for them to not understand their

Well yew, but my point is that we are getting extra penalized for catching it.

Yeah, but Isaac Rex has no idea at the time the ball is thrown to him that he's an ineligible receiver.

Because the defense reads who's on the line and who can be in pass patterns.

I don't know if I agree, but the theory must be the same as grounding

Illegal Touching by an Ineligible Receiver results in loss of down
