Officials to Discuss Football Rule Changes This Weekend
New York reports that the intercollegiate football rules committee will meet Friday and Saturday to consider drastic reforms. Major topics include kickoff method, scoring after touchdown, interceptions, substitutes, offsides penalties, and start of the third period. Minor proposals suggest restoring the 40 yard kickoff line with a mud tee, placing roughness penalties on the line judge, and ending first downs on blocked kicks behind the line of scrimmage unless ball is recovered. A potential overhaul targets the extra point kick after touchdowns and current play from the three yard line.
