No Changes Expected in Grid Rules
Lou Little of Columbia University, chair of the National Football Coaches Association rules committee, said the gridiron will likely avoid major rule changes at the four day annual meeting. He noted a balance between offense and defense and aims to stabilize and clarify current rules with no drastic revisions. Proposals to be discussed include a safety zone for passers and accidental pass plays, but no action on eliminating the point after, moving goal posts, or universal professional passing.
