Tulane athletic director Troy Dannen, who chairs the competition committee, previously told me that these changes will affect seven to 10 plays per game. That’s not a lot and may not feel noticeable to most fans, in part because it’s the absence of moments that bring a game to a standstill. Like, we may recognize that there’s a situation where a coach may have called back-to-back timeouts in the past, but we may not appreciate the time saved in a game in which it doesn’t happen. It’ll be interesting to see if these collective changes shave time off of the average length of games as well.
NCAA announced Friday. The changes are as follows:
Running the clock after first downs (like the NFL), except for the last two minutes of each half.
Banning the use of consecutive timeouts by a team.
Carrying over a foul to the second or fourth quarter rather than playing an untimed down.
