"Proposed Changes in College Football: Helmet Communications and Technology Rules"
The NCAA Football Rules Committee has proposed modernizing college football rules for 2024, aligning the sport more closely with the NFL. The recommended changes include allowing helmet communications, in-game tablet use, and a two-minute timeout, pending approval by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel. Other proposed measures involve warnings and penalties for uniform violations, expanded tablet usage, and the implementation of 15-yard horse-collar tackle penalties within the tackle box. These changes aim to simplify timing rules, reduce the need for intricate play signaling, and align college football with professional standards.
