Air Force's Troy Calhoun, chair of NCAA FB rules committee: “Very little” in terms of rule changes, “speaks very well” to health of game.

In other words: No controversial rule proposals coming from NCAA FB rules committee this year — like, say, a 10-second rule.

Calhoun says FB rules committee spent lot of time on tech possibilities like helmet cams, helmet radios, use of computers on sidelines, etc.

Calhoun suggests there might be a “test run” for some technology like helmet cams in handful of bowl games this season.

The ineligible downfield rule was adjusted from three yards to one yard past the line of scrimmage. To be legal, a lineman who is more than one yard past the line of scrimmage must be engaged with a defensive player when a pass is released.

A 15-yard unsportsmanlike foul will be called on players who push or pull opponents off piles – for example, following fumbles.
these two are going to cause the most issues for refs.
quote:
Officials will return to giving teams an initial sideline warning when their personnel move out of the designated team bench area.
I hadn't realized warnings had been stopped. This is a good change.
quote:
Allow instant replay review to see if a kicking team player blocked the receiving team before the ball goes 10 yards on onside-kick plays.
quote:
The calling of team timeouts by the head coach will be instant-replay reviewable at any time.
These should have been the case since replay review became a thing.

Honestly, my 2 biggest problems are
(1) The afterplay pile, generally on short yardage or goal line plays. They have to get a hold of that. They are putting refs in a terrible place and people get hurt.
(2) The read option run/pass guy downfield thing. That just isn't fair to defenses and they gotta enforce that better.

It's not fair because it is a rule that defensive players have used for 50 years to determine run or pass. If they want to change the rule fine, but change it. As of now it's a rule that is enforced about 33% of the time.
Either fix it or eliminate it.

Agreed, let's also do away with play action, pump fakes or anything else that might deceive a defense.

Nonononono
Not my point. My point, like I said above, is either remove the rule (which I'd be fine with), change the rule or enforce the rule.
I mean, it's a rule and they haphazardly enforce it. Either do it or don't.

Looks like they are ;
