The NCAA Football Rules Committee has recently approved new technology rules that will be implemented at all levels of college football. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of the two-minute warning, which will be automatically triggered in the final two minutes of the second and fourth quarters. This is similar to the NFL’s system, and it aims to improve player safety and reduce confusion on the field.
In addition to this change, coaches and teams will have access to a range of new technologies, including in-game video tablets, collaborative replay systems, and a modified horse collar tackle rule. These tools are designed to enhance player performance, provide real-time analysis of game situations, and promote fair play on the field.
One notable change is coach-to-player communication through helmets worn by quarterbacks and defensive players. However, this rule currently only applies to FBS teams. Non-FBS leagues interested in using this technology must submit proposals to the Football Rules Committee by June 15th.
Overall, these new rules aim to improve player safety, promote fair play on the field, and enhance player performance at all levels of college football.
