Coaches Seek Five Major Changes to College Football
The National College Football Coaches association rules committee voted to propose five changes including banning out of bounds kickoffs and allowing forward passes anywhere behind the line. Others call for mandatory one inch tees for kickoffs and protections against face hits in blocking. A five yard penalty for forward lateral attempts would replace the current uncompleted forward pass rule. Some proposals were rejected, such as permitting running with a recovered fumble and curb stalling near end zones.
