NCAA rules changes: some approved, some not.
http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect//pub...n+football

The new targeting penalty recommended in January has been given the green light. Now if a player is flagged for targeting, he will be ejected. If he is flagged in the second half or OT, he will be ejected and have to sit out the first half of the next game. The ejection will be subject to video review (but not the 15 yards).

Also approved was blocking below the waist from any position on the line.

What did not get accepted is the "Boise rule" that would have prohibited teams from wearing all of the same color as their field. That rule did not get adopted, so Boise can continue wearing blue/blue/blue home unis.


Also approved:
Quote:•To add a 10-second runoff with less than a minute remaining in either half when the sole reason for the clock stoppage is because of injury.
•To establish three seconds as the minimum amount of time required to be on the game clock in order to spike the ball to stop the clock. If one or two seconds remain on the clock, there is only time for the offense to run one more play.
•To require a player that changes numbers during the game to report this to the referee, who will announce it.
•To preclude multiple players from the same team from wearing the same uniform number (for example, two quarterbacks on the same team are not allowed to have the same number).
•To allow the use of electronic communication by the on-field officiating crew (the practice was used successfully on an experimental basis by the Southeastern Conference). This is a permissive rule and not a requirement.
•To allow instant replay to adjust the clock at the end of each quarter. Previously, this provision was in place only for the end of each half.
•To clarify uniform rules as follows: “Jerseys must have clearly visible, permanent Arabic numerals measuring at least 8 and 10 inches in height front and back, respectively, and be of one solid color that itself is clearly in distinct contrast with the color of the jersey, irrespective of any border around the number.” This rule goes into effect for Football Bowl Subdivision teams in 2013. Football Championship Subdivision, Division II and Division III teams will have until 2014 before the rule becomes effective.

If I understand, from brief convos w/ UAB folks, the "Boise" rule would have also applied to any team that has green/green kits on a standard (green) field (UAB's current home unis are green/green as are Marshall's and Michigan St's...those are just a few. That may not be the reason the rule was nixed, but I don't see any other way the schools in NCAA could word the rule without obviously targeting Boise.

As I understand it, there were complaints from coaches who are preparing to play Boise that the blue/blue/blue combo (especially given that their blue turf, unlike anyone's green turf, is color-matched to the uniforms) can make it difficult to identify particular players on game film.

Maybe the complaints of teams who like their green/green unis were louder than the complaints of those who have to watch Boise game film.

Is this only for one side of the ball? Our starting QB and CB both wore the number 2 last year.

The specific wording was that a team had to have either the jersey or the pants in a color contrasting to the field. It was not specific to Boise and any school that wore green/green would be affected as well. It's moot anyway since the rule did not pass.

They still could have worn green jerseys with white pants. It's pretty obvious what Boise is trying to do and they have others that want to do the same.

It was originally proposed as two players on the same team at the same position. Not sure why the wording changed here. Oversight on the press release perhaps.

I'm curious if that jersey rule affects UCF uniform situation.

It could, I guess. Depends on how the Gold on White is viewed as contrasting. Previous ruling by the NCAA said it was ok, but maybe there has to be a change. It certainly negates the white on white that Oregon had used this past season.

Yes, it's per squad (offense, defense, special teams). UAB got penalized this year on either defense or special teams - can't remember which - when either the coach or the players got mixed up and 2 #4's came on the field. But one of them was a CB in regular rotation and the other was a special teams player...that's fine as long as the stay on their squads. With virtually every team having 100+ players (including walkons) in uniform at home games, and BCS squads traveling with much more, per squad is the only way to enforce the rule...unless they want to start allowing 3 digits on jerseys...

Sounds like this rule is a not-completely-effective answer to that cheap stunt Lane Kiffin pulled in USC's game against Colorado last fall.

Meanwhile, the NCAA has put the brakes on two of the recruiting rule deregulations: namely the rule that would allow non-coaches to contact recruits (but not face-to-face - only via phone or text or e-mail) and the rule that relaxed what printed materials could be sent to recruits.

So uniforms like these can't be worn anymore?

No. Those don't have 8-10 inch numbers on the front.
