The Football Rules Committee of the NCAA has recently approved new technology rules that will be implemented in all levels of college football. This includes the introduction of a two-minute warning, which will be similar to the NFL’s system, with automatic timeouts occurring in the last two minutes of the second and fourth quarters.
In addition to this, options for using tablets for in-game video, collaborative replay systems, and a modification to the horse collar tackle rule were also approved. These new rules are designed to improve the safety and efficiency of college football games.
One significant change is the allowance for communication from coach to player through the helmet worn by the quarterback and one defensive player. However, this rule is currently only for FBS teams. Non-FBS leagues interested in using this technology must submit proposals to the Football Rules Committee by June 15th.
These new rules are part of an ongoing effort by the NCAA to enhance college football and provide a better experience for players, coaches, and fans alike. For more information on these rules and other updates from the NCAA, visit their website or follow their social media channels.
