Ed Orgeron was in favor? How the hell was the QB supposed to understand what was being said?

Over a terrible, staticcy link with tons of cross-talk to a headset damaged by too many blows to the quarterback’s helmet, Orgeron’s voice sounds exactly like Patrick Stewart sounds when you’re in the same room with him

Why doesn’t college football use helmet communication like the NFL? Inside a new system that could change that

So why hasn’t it happened? The SEC had conversations about it last spring, but there was disagreement among coaches, a source familiar with the conversations said. There’s also a concern about helmet liability and warranty. Sources in each Power 5 conference confirmed there have been brief discussions at some point in recent years in their leagues.

Another concern among some SEC coaches wasn’t expressed publicly but has been suspected privately: Headsets would eliminate the ability to steal signals. The concept of stealing signals is an open secret in coaching, and some programs have elaborate operations. In a sport in which most rule changes benefit the offense, this could put the sides on the same level of an issue.

Told of that suspicion, David Shaw said it was comforting to hear someone admit that stealing signals exists. Bielema brought it up as well.

“There are certain places that put a premium on stealing signals, and that gets some people known as great play callers, but you can be a great play caller if you know what the other team is doing,” Shaw said. “For me, this is one of those balancing things. You might not be able to get all the information you want, now you have to call the game with some doubt and trust in your preparation and your players.”

ALTERED RULES AGAINST FAKING INJURIES
Faked or exaggerated injuries are a growing trend in college football, especially on defense used to combat tempo-driven offenses. The NCAA, however, will not add in-game penalties for players accused of faking injuries, but other post-game penalties could be assessed. Supposed fake injuries were a topic of conversation following Ole Miss' road win at Tennessee last season, and that was not the last time either school was involved in a game that drew suspicions on the front. The topic resurfaced following Ole Miss' Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State in November and then again during Tennessee's Music City Bowl loss to Purdue in December.

According to the NCAA, “in an attempt to crack down on teams awarded an injury timeout after a player fakes an injury, schools and conferences will be able to report questionable scenarios to the national coordinator of officials. The coordinator will provide feedback. Any penalties levied would be up to the conference office or school involved.”

ON TARGETING IMPROVEMENTS
According to McDaid, there was only one targeting call every five games on average in FBS for the 2021 season. Player safety related to head injuries have improved as a result.

“This is reflective of how the game is being played,” McDaid said. "We did not officiate this any different between 2020 and 2021. Our emphasis on targeting is no different, but it’s statistically significant how much it went down year over year. Hopefully, it represents that athletes are recognizing the rule and how the game needs to be played legally and it’s showing up here as we have less targeting per game than we have the previous year.”

DISQUALIFICATIONS FROM TARGETING
Conferences can now review targeting calls after games if they occurred in the second half and then appeal so that the penalized player may be able to play the first half of the following contest.

"No change to the definition of targeting, no change to the judgement of what is or is not targeting," McDaid said. "If we have a second half targeting, the player is disqualified for the remained of that game and has carry over for the first half of the next game. That carry over is now reviewable post-game and the conference can decide to appeal to (Steve Shaw) for the purposes of removing only the carry over for the disqualification for the first half."

Plus several more changes

So... the penalties are going to depend on who the next opponent is... gotcha.

And... I'm guessing that who the next opponent is will play a factor in the decision.
(Yeah, I know - I tend to be cynical about stuff like this.)

I keep expecting them to bring back the idea that the clock should start when the ball is kicked. HAHAHA.

Emmert has run the NCAA for the past 12 years and has long been a punching bag for the NCAA’s detractors. Emmert was a staunch defender of the NCAA’s outdated rules regarding amateurism yet also oversaw the governing body’s sudden shift to allow players to make money off their image rights once it was politically untenable for the NCAA to continue to enforce its new rules.

That political influence came in the way of myriad state governments moving to legalize college athlete compensation. Rather than navigate dozens of differing state laws, the NCAA quickly implemented sweeping changes to its NIL rules without much thought to future consequences. This move was, of course, made after years of the NCAA dragging its feet regarding any changes to its rules. Had Emmert and the NCAA been more proactive over the course of its tenure, it’s reasonable to assume that states like California and Florida wouldn’t have forced its hand.

By appointing an experienced politician, perhaps the NCAA believes it can make a stronger push for federal rules with Baker in charge. In its release, the NCAA said that "Baker arrives at the NCAA at a moment of significant transformation. Legal shifts in the environment surrounding college sports have challenged the NCAA's ability to serve as an effective national regulator for college athletics, resulting in an untenable patchwork of individual state laws. Partnering with federal policymakers to develop a consistent, sustainable legal framework to address issues common to student-athletes and athletic departments across the country will be a top and immediate priority. Throughout the search process, Governor Baker's history of successfully forging bipartisan solutions to complex problems stood out to the search committee as uniquely suited to the NCAA's present needs."

This can be something. I'm sure one of his first matters will be fixing the NIL and setting groundwork for the Portal.

Maybe, but they already tried to lobby (throw money at) congress as a Hail Mary and came up empty. It's a legal issue now. Unless there is some new form of relationship, like say between the player and an employer, the NCAA doesn't have the legal right to impede what a U.S. tax paying citizen can make.

The real hope for appointing an experienced politician is that he probably knows how to spend the payoff lobbying money more intelligently and can get Congress to come in and somehow find a way to create problems for the players getting paid. That is what a "history of successfully forging bipartisan solutions to complex problems" really means.

Question: the student-athletes aren't tax payers, correct? So that would mean they could impede, right?

NCAA approves massive changes to transfer portal windows

.
www.on3.com www.on3.com
The NCAA has approved changes to the transfer portal windows in all sports, it announced on Wednesday morning.

The transfer portal windows for football will now be 30 days after the conclusion of the season, as well as 15 days in the spring. The transfer portal window for men’s and women’s basketball will be 45 days. The council’s actions are not final until a meeting concludes later today.

Previously the window for football following the conclusion of the season was 45 days, but many coaches lobbied for a shorter window.

Arkansas‘ Sam Pittman was among them.

“I personally believe that it’s open too long,” Pittman said this offseason on the Paul Finebaum Show. “I think it needs to close down. I think kids who go in the transfer portal know they’re going to transfer way faster than 45 days.”

He wasn’t the only SEC coach of that opinion, either. South Carolina‘s Shane Beamer also chimed in during the offseason on the idea that the transfer portal windows were too generous.

“There was talk, I guess last year at this time there was talk about that window going like all the way through May, which I’ll be honest would be awful,” Beamer said.

“If a guy’s going to transfer, he knows he’s transferring by the end of spring practice. He doesn’t need the whole month of May to figure it out. So I think from that standpoint, the fact that the window was shorter it gave players time to go through spring practice, kind of see where they are and if there’s better opportunities for them elsewhere they can explore it. But it’s not too long where it gets drug out too long.”

On3 will have more on this developing story shortly.

NCAA drops football limit on bringing in players

Amid the ongoing frequency of transfers around college football, the NCAA Division I Council has approved a rule change eliminating limits on the number of players a program can bring in.

NCAA council permanently drops new-player limit for football​

The NCAA Division I Council approved a rule change Wednesday that will eliminate the initial counter limit for both the FBS and FCS.

Prior to the rule change, FBS programs were limited to 25 initial counters per year, which essentially meant each program could bring in 25 total players each year. That total included high school prospects and transfers, and coaches were limited to 25 even if they were below the total scholarship limit of 85.
