The NCAA makes a significant change to kickoffs, where any kick that lands between the goal line and the 25-yard line can now be fair caught and treated as a touchback.

Cue every kicker working on landing 'em at the 26 this summer.

Other rule changes

Quote:• Offensive players will not be allowed to block below the waist when the block occurs more than 5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
• Play clocks will be set at 40 seconds after touchdowns and following kickoffs to expedite succeeding plays.
• A 10-second runoff has been added for when instant replay overturns a ruling on the field inside of one minute in either half, and the correct ruling would not have stopped the game clock.
• Continued experimental collaborative decision-making model on instant replays.
• Leaping rules on field goals and extra points will mirror those on punting plays.
• Penalty enforcement on successful field goals will mirror extra points (i.e. the option to be enforced on ensuing kickoff).
