The NCAA Football Rules Committee has approved new technology rules for college football, including the implementation of a two-minute warning in all levels of play. Similar to the NFL, automatic timeouts will occur in the last two minutes of the second and fourth quarters.
One notable change is the allowance for communication from coach to player through the helmet worn by the quarterback and one defensive player, but 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.
In addition to these changes, options for using tablets for in-game video, collaborative replay systems, and a modification to the horse collar tackle rule were also approved for all NCAA levels. These new rules are designed to enhance safety and improve gameplay for players at all levels.
