College Goal Posts Widened
The NCAA Rules Committee widened the goal posts to 24 feet outside length and kept them 10 yards behind the goal line. They also revised the substitution rule to allow reentry when the clock is stopped and increased time outs per half to five. Aimed at encouraging scoring and simplifying sideline coaching, the changes apply to 1958 play with emphasis on safety and practicality.
