The NCAA Division I Council approved a rule that allows any staff member to provide on-field coaching during practice and games, a change that removes the lightly enforced restrictions on the previous maximum of 11 “countable” coaches. The proposal does not change the number of off-campus recruiters. FBS teams remain limited to up to 11 staff members who may participate in off-campus recruiting activities.
This change will be effective immediately once it’s finalized after the conclusion of Wednesday’s meeting, according to the NCAA’s report.
Florida football will now be able to lean on any staff member for “technical and tactical instruction” during both practice and games.
