The Big Ten is modifying how it officiates onside kicks after the controversial offside penalty at the end of Saturday's game between Minnesota and Michigan.

Officiating crews from the league will now position the line judge and head line judge on the restraining line of the kicking team, "thereby putting multiple officials in the best position to consistently make the correct judgement," the Big Ten said in a statement. The change to the officiating mechanic was approved by the NCAA.
