With the NFL drastically altering kickoffs, college football could eventually follow suit.
On Tuesday, NFL owners passed a rule to adopt a kickoff style that was first deployed in the XFL. Players from the kicking team will line up at the opponent's 40-yard line, while players from the receiving team will start from the 35.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, who's on the sport's rules committee, believes the NFL/XFL kickoff could be "the model" for the college game.
"They know what they want. They know what they're trying to do," he told reporters.
