NCAA proposes other Rule Changes for the Coming Football Season

The NCAA also proposed several other rules changes for the 2011 season, which now must be approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel:
– Players who draw flags for taunting gestures on their way to a touchdown would have the penalty assessed from the spot of the foul, taking away the score. Penalties that occur in the end zone would continue to be assessed on the extra-point attempt, 2-point conversion try or ensuing kickoff.
– Tougher standards on allowing a concussed player to return to a game, forcing them to be cleared by a doctor before returning to competition.
– Television monitors will be allowed in the press box coaches’ booths beginning in 2011. The home team has responsibility for insuring that coaches’ booths for both teams have identical television capability.
– Ending the requirement that players’ pants always cover the knees.
– Eliminating the intentional “wedge” on kickoffs and punts, a rule the NFL adopted last season.
– Recommending conferences that do not have a pregame warm-up policy use a 10-yard, no-player zone between the 45-yard lines beginning 60 minutes before kickoff.
