College football introduces new rules

By Ben Everett | Sports Editor

The National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame teamed up this year to implement a set of new rules regarding gameplay for college football.

The NFF and hall of fame worked with Rogers Redding, the national coordinator of NCAA’s College Football Officiating, in order to make changes to the way college football is played.

According to the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, Redding and his team were able to propose changes to overall gameplay because it is an even-numbered year. During odd-numbered years, only rules related to player safety can be amended.
