The Football Rules Committee is just one arm of the NCAA’s massive bureaucracy, but like other parts of the organization, when it makes news that people care about, it tends to do so in a noticeable way.
Such was the case once again on Thursday when the college football world busily looked over the recent set of proposals the committee approved and forwarded to the rest of the membership. The changes, which follow four days worth of meetings in Orlando, Florida, are mostly centered on player safety but also include a handful of ideas designed to bring the game into the modern age.
