Intercollegiate football to four quarters of 16 minutes
The intercollegiate rules committee announced autumn changes to play. Games will run four 16 minute periods with a 15 minute intermission between the second and third periods and a 3 minute intermission elsewhere. At start of the second and fourth periods teams switch goals, but downs and possession stay the same. A new rule eliminates the flying tackle requiring at least one foot on ground when tackling. A forward pass restriction requires eligible receivers to be beyond one yard behind the scrimmage line. No kicking from behind the line is allowed.
