Forward Pass Rules Revised by Intercollegiate Rules Committee
The intercollegiate rules committee limited forward passes with minor clarifications and added two new rules. Changes include a defined forfeited game score, revised half time interval to fifteen minutes with referee notice, and penalties adjustments under umpire and field judge oversight. The measure aims to curb long passes while preserving offensive options and strategic balance.
