NCAA Football Rules Committee Proposes Kickoff, Pace of Play, Other Changes

College football fans may see more touchbacks in the near future.

According to Greg Johnson of NCAA.org, the NCAA Football Rules Committee proposed a rule that would give the kickoff receiving team a touchback on any fair catch inside the 25-yard line.

"The committee made the proposal to address player safety on the kickoff and to address tactics that attempt to pin the receiving team close to its goal line," Johnson wrote. "All other aspects of the kickoff play will remain the same."
