According to a report from Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, there are some big rule changes coming to college football this year.

The first rule has been a long expected change, with a player-to-coach helmet communication system being implemented. Signals will be able to be called from headsets to the field directly rather than using signage or another method of communication.

The second rule change involves another difference that will make the college game more similar to the NFL, with players and coaches now being able to use tablets on the sidelines in order to break down plays and see what happened.

Finally, the biggest change of all is the expected implementation of a 2-minute warning. In the NFL, the game clock stops in the final two minutes of the first half and 4th quarter, effectively giving teams an extra timeout in the game’s most critical moments with regards to the clock.

The changes, according to Dellenger, are expected to be finalized by Friday in a decision by the NCAA Football Rules Community.

It’s safe to say college football is going to look a bit different in 2024 as things continue to evolve.
