This constant represents the NCAA's maximum short axis length corresponding to the circumference of a football and is defined by relationship between diameter and circumference to to be no greater than approximately 3.382 inches.1

Remember: Circumference=πDiameter=π2b=π2c

bmax=cmax=Circumferencemax2π

Since we can approximate the football with an ellipsoid, the circumference through the plane of the axis1and"axis"_2' is related to b or c as:  C=π(2b)
