The Ncaa just released a notice it is moving toward "Cutting down on football injuries by limiting the number of plays allowed in a game". (paraphrased). I guess Saban has been Lobbying (again) against the fast teams he doesn't like to compete against. Stay tuned.

There's no way they can do that without taking possessions away from teams that go fast.

Keeping the clock running on 1st downs, a la the NFL, forces college teams to practice to be better prepared for our offense.

Some people like drama. They still have to be ready but now, instead of thinking they have time after a first down...... they need to be ready.

That's all.

Maybe its just me, but it seems like the amount of changing/tinkering to college football rules over the last several years has gotten way more frequent. Maybe I just didnt pay as much attention when I was younger but it seemed like from the mid-70's, up to when instant replay was implemented, college football was pretty much the same sport. Now there's not a damn year that goes by where there isnt a new set of changes introduced. It reminds me of freaking NASCAR and why I lost interest in that sport!

Same thing happened to NASCAR. Now no one cares about it.

Hell, they've already nearly ruined the game with what's a "legal" tackle and all the targeting BS. Special teams like kickoffs are a total waste of time these days. I've come to hate replays since it's 50/50 they actually get the call right. Sure take plays away...go ahead and finish off college football by mucking up something else that takes entertainment out of the sport.

A big % of KOs are not returned, so that takes away about 5 minutes to set up KO and down the ball and Special Teams run off and O & D run on. I think they should ask or have a signal from HC after extra point to either spot the ball on 25-yard line and exclude the kickoff. If the HC flags that he wants to KO that would be allowed as option to have possible on-side KO or squib kick etc. This would shorten the length of games especially those with a lot of scoring. Although probably never happen AD $$$ during those in between KO dead times are money makers.

Ive wondered if the number of lower body injuries have gone up since theyve been so strictly enforcing no helmet to helmet contact. I think back to the Akron game last year when Tillman got hurt. The way he was tackled on that play makes me wonder if thats just how players are being taught to tackle now to avoid the targeting calls.

Commercials and lolly gagging between changes in possession and looong periods of time for an injury (the questionable type) or when a guy has the breath knocked out of him when he use to just run off the field are taking lots of time. We see staffs telling these "hurt" guys to just get down, then we go through the time eating commercials that serve to allow the teams a rest at no cost to their team. To me this is as much a time waster as anything in the game.

Is this from an OLD article from last year? March 1, 2022? If your post refers to an update, please provide the link.
Potential college football rule changes aim to limit plays and exposures while shortening the game

As some have pointed out, the main thing they proposed was basically changing clock stoppages to make it more like the NFL which I think is fine. I think the actual effect will be more teams like UT as opposed to it singling us out. These days people read headlines not articles... headlines are purposely misleading. This will force more teams to play faster and defenses will adjust. Its not them targeting UT its a problem thats been around for a while and the pace of our offense is, in part, an exploit of it.

The NCAA is considering holding football games with "virtual contact". In essence, you don't touch your opponent unless you really, really, really just gots to.

The NCAA is a useless antiquated organization that skims a sizeable amount of money from college sports waaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond being commensurate with what they provide.

Tillman got hurt because the pass exposed him to the hit that caused the injury. When I played, we were taught to take the legs out from under the receiver.

I hate the NFL game and stopped watching about 3 years ago. I can easily do the same for college. This change would have kept UT from beating Bama this year and not surprisingly, here we are. UT needs to start calling spades instead of sitting silently on the sidelines.

You want to speed up the game?

Put a time limit on how long refs can review a replay before making a decision.

Follow the XFL or NFL replay rules.

Quit stopping the clock on 1st downs

Require injury stoppage to take that player out of the game for the rest of that possession.
