"Under a new rule proposed by the NCAA, offenses that snap the ball too quickly would be penalized.

In what it says is an attempt to improve the safety of players in this era of Mach speed offenses, the NCAA Football Rules Committee has recommended a rules change that will allow defensive substitutions within the first 10 seconds of the 40-second play clock.

The offense that snaps the ball before the play clock hits 29 seconds would be assessed a 5-yard, delay-of-game penalty."

Thank Saban.

I am assuming if 10 seconds was left on the game clock then that would be an exception?

I believe the word you are looking for is oversight. That would be an oversight.

The last two minutes of each half are an exception because Saban needs hurry up then and player safety only matters for 56 minutes per game.

There's not a single BCS conference representative on the football rules committee.

Fucking dreckfest.

I believe the team with the ball (formerly known as on offense) will be penalized regardless of what happens when there are 9 seconds or less remaining in a half/game... since a game cannot end on a penalty I believe the first week's games will thus not end until ever. Should be a great season. NCAA gets it.

Game can't end on a Defensive Penalty ... you nit wit

Why in only the last 2 minutes it stops? Say Goodbye to late comebacks. Also, it fucking kills first down plays. Oregon never snaps the ball within 10 seconds of a play. But if they go by play clock, on first downs, the offense will have to wait for the ball to be set, then wait an additional 10 seconds to snap it. If that rule passes, the NFL will once again win a diehard back, because I will be through with college football.

Saban needs to be more worried about his ST than this bullshit.

I'm sure the NCAA is prepared to release it's hard evidence that fast paced play results in more injuries. Outside of government if there is an organization anywhere with less credibility than the NCAA I'd like to know what it is.
