Related Topics: NCAA Football

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has approved three rules changes in college football aimed at improving the pace of play and reducing the number of plays per game.

Per The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach, the approved changes that will go into effect next season include a running clock after first downs (except for the last two minutes of each half), banning the use of consecutive timeouts by a team and carrying a foul over to the second and fourth quarters instead of playing an untimed down.
