The NCAA has approved changes designed to prevent players from going down with an injury to slow down offenses playing at a fast tempo.

Starting in 2025, a team will be charged a timeout if its training staff enters the field to look at a player who has gone down after the ball was spotted for the next play. If a player goes down after the ball is spotted and his team doesn’t have any timeouts remaining, his team will be assessed a five-yard delay of game penalty.

“The injury timeout proposal was made by the NCAA Football Rules Committee after many in the college football community raised concerns about strategies in which players fake an injury to stop the opposition’s momentum or to avoid using an allotted timeout,” an NCAA statement late Wednesday night said.

“This has been a topic of discussion for the NCAA Football Rules Committee in recent years. Before the 2021 season, a framework was instituted that allows a school or conference to request a postgame video review headed by Steve Shaw, the NCAA secretary-rules editor/national coordinator of officials, regarding questionable actions involving injuries.”

In 2024, conferences could be notified if it was determined that a player faked an injury and the conference had the right to punish the school. During the second half of the season, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey sent a memo to his conference’s teams imploring them to stop faking injuries.

Overtime timeout changes

Teams will no longer get one timeout per overtime period if a game goes to a third overtime. Teams will still get one timeout for each of the first two overtimes, but if a game heads to the 2-point conversion shootout starting in the third overtime, each team will have one timeout to use for however long the game lasts.

The reduction in timeouts following the second overtime is a logical step. With teams still getting one timeout per period as they went back-and-forth with 2-point conversions, a third or fourth overtime could go timeout, play, timeout, play before the game would be over or continue to another overtime.

The Dan Lanning rule

The NCAA has also clarified further changes to the 12th-man penalty for defenses after Oregon used the rulebook to its advantage against Ohio State.

The Ducks called timeout and added a 12th player to its defense on third down with 10 seconds to go in its regular-season win over the Buckeyes in October. Ohio State threw an incomplete pass on the play but lost five seconds and still faced a third down after the five-yard penalty for the infraction.

The NCAA issued a rare in-season rule change after the game and said that offenses would have the ability to have the time added back to the clock if the defense committed a 12-man penalty and all 12 players were actively involved in the play.

That change will continue into 2025. If the 12th man is attempting to get off the field before the play, the time won’t be added back on, but the defense will still be penalized five yards.

Pérez se přiblížil návratu do F1. Přimlouvá se za něj i bývalý ředitel Red Bullu

Byl jedním z nejprobíranějších jezdců v minulém ročníku formule 1. Mexičan Sergio Pérez doplatil na nedostatečné bodové zisky v druhé polovině sezony a v Red Bullu po čtyřech letech skončil.Nyní se však zdá, že by jeho absence v šampionátu mohla být brzy minulostí. Pérez je jedním z hlavních favoritů na zisk jezdeckého místa v nové stáji Cadillac, která se do formule 1 zapojí příští rok.O víkendu se letos poprvé pojede závod na americké půdě – území Cadillacu.
