The original NFL two minute warning had nothing to do with the game of football, but everything to do with advertising revenue. This may make business sense at the big time, TV-intense FBS level of college football, but not at the PL/IL/CAA level HC plays in. More of the endless commercialization of college sports. |

I doubt the NFL's two-minute warning had anything to do with advertising revenue. It was adopted in 1942, before there were stadium clocks. The time was kept on the field by an official with a stopwatch and the two-minute warning let teams know when the end of a half was approaching. The college change isn't about money either. There are several rules and timing changes that take effect in the last two minutes and this synchronizes them. |

It just becomes a planned commercial break in lieu of another commercial break earlier in the quarter/half. Now, of course that doesn't mean they'll simply add another commercial the way things work. |

There are several rules and timing changes that take effect in the last two minutes and this synchronizes them. "This rules change synchronizes all timing rules, such as 10-second runoffs and stopping the clock when a first down is gained in bounds, which coincides with the two-minute timeout." And it was adopted for all Divisions. Also adopted was a rule allowing 18 tablets to be used ^^^ If I am reading this correctly, HC moving its sideline from the south stands to the north stands would now be at a disadvantage, given the north stands camera angle is not as high. If there are no stands on one side, e.g., Georgetown, Fordham, than both teams would get the same sideline feed. In any event, this will be no small investment to adapt the existing camera feeds. And is the distance between stands and sideline identical on both sides of Fitton? I am thinking of coaches and players huddled around tablets. And the home team can dress more players than the visitor. And this, At the FBS level, |

OK, I'll ask...what was the proposal about uniforms made by the rules committee that was rejected?

The uniform rule that was adopted is the green dot for the player with the wireless. I', assuming multiple players could have green dots, but only one could be on the field at a time. |

As far back as I remember (early 60s,) there used to be a 4 minute warning in HS and college games. Back in those days, the referees on the field kept the clock, and if there was a clock on the scoreboard, it was unofficial. The 4 minute warning was useful so teams would have some idea of how far off the scoreboard clock was, and sometimes it was quite a bit!

Still in the high school rule book for when there is no official visible game clock. Doesn't happen in varsity games but junior high, 9th grade, and JV games are occasionally played on a field with no game clock. This happens when the football field is being used for another sport. |

Another rule change
Penalizing horse-collar tackles that occur within the tackle box as a 15-yard personal foul. Previously, a horse-collar tackle within the tackle box was not a foul.

I don't mind the 2 minute warning rule. FCS games are so much quicker than FBS games an extra 2-4 minutes each game is not going to be that noticeable.
