NCAA RULES PANEL APPROVES KEEPING CLOCK RUNNING ON COLLEGE FOOTBALL FIRST DOWNS

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has approved rules changes that are expected to reduce the number of plays in football games, notably one that will keep the clock running when a team makes a first down except in the last two minutes of a half.
The panel on Thursday approved recommendations forwarded last month by the Football Rules Committee. Since 1968, the clock had stopped on a first down until the referee gave the ready-for-play signal.
The new clock rule affects only Divisions I and II. The Division III Management Council requested the proposal be referred back to the Football Rules Committee due to opposition within its division.
Two other changes were approved. Penalties accepted at the end of the first and third quarters will now be enforced at the start of the following quarter rather than having an untimed down. Also, back-to-back timeouts during the same dead-ball period are no longer allowed.
Steve Shaw, NCAA secretary-rules editor and national coordinator of officials, said the rules committee took a conservative approach to begin the process of shortening games.
With the College Football Playoff expanding from four to 12 teams in 2024-25, and possibly more in the future, conference commissioners had asked the committee to look for ways to cut down on the number of plays in games in an attempt to mitigate potential injury exposures.
Shaw said the new clock rule on first downs would take about eight plays out of the game, which would be about 96 fewer exposures over a regular season and more for teams that play in bowls and the playoff.

I like to make changes to the rules to reduce the number of plays to protect players while simultaneously adding multiple games to the schedule.
It’s what I like to do. -
I ;like to speed up the game by using replay a dozen times a game on stupid shitwhlinder said:I like to make changes to the rules to reduce the number of plays to protect players while simultaneously adding multiple games to the schedule.

Exactly right. When they go 16 team format in the near future, the top two teams will play 16 fucking gameswhlinder said:I like to make changes to the rules to reduce the number of plays to protect players while simultaneously adding multiple games to the schedule.

I dunno, I always thought it was dumb that the clock would stop on a first down with 13 minutes left in the first quarter. Of course, the reasoning they give for the change is complete bs.

Need more time for fucking commercials. There ain’t enough of the sumbitches.

Meh. You can't jerk off after a first down anymore.
It's not great but staffs will adjust. -
No, they're trying to show that they care about the kids by limiting the number of collisions.SECDAWG said:Need more time for fucking commercials. There ain’t enough of the sumbitches.

I know what they claim…and is horsepoopy.
NCAAF gets theirs… -
Having a running clock and not allowing back to back timeouts will reduce opportunity for stoppages and commercials.SECDAWG said:Need more time for fucking commercials. There ain’t enough of the sumbitches.
