Operator, Could You Help Me Place This Call?

AI put some weird numbers in the dial. ;-)

 From an NCAA release regarding proposals by the Football Rules Committee (LINK):

Proposed that coach-to-player communication, similar to technology implemented for the Football Bowl Subdivision last year, be permissive for teams that compete in the Football Championship Subdivision.

A story on other proposals made by the rules committee includes this (LINK):

The NCAA football rules committee has proposed a timeout to be charged whenever medical personnel enter the field to evaluate players after the ball has been spotted for the ensuing play. Teams without timeouts would be assessed a five-yard delay-of-game penalty for each instance.

Green Alert Take: Notice the word proposals both times. Nothing has been decided.

EXTRA POINT

A note for those of you who take weekend off from visiting this electronic precinct. As noted in this space Saturday, starting this week BGA will not be updated every day through spring and summer. If there's news to bring you, it will be posted here. The expectation is that will happen more often than not. But if the site goes quiet for a day or two, no need to worry. I'm not going anywhere. ;-)
