Open game rules shift echoed by Eastern Intercollegiate
Eastern Intercollegiate Association approved six rule changes for the coming college football season aimed at making the game more open and exciting. Changes include five yard penalties for out of bounds kickoffs, easier kickoff options, broader forward passing eligibility behind scrimmage, relaxed penalties for illegal forward passes, clarified offside rules, and allowing fumbled balls to be advanced by opponents. Major schools across the nation are adopting these adjustments while regional conferences weigh additional tweaks.
