NCAA Rule Changes
NCAA strengthens targeting rules, limits OTs
Joel Anderson

The NCAA football rules committee has approved several rule change proposals for the 2019 season, including some that would strengthen targeting rules and another meant to limit the potential for too many overtimes.
The committee also approved a change to overtime, deciding that if a game reaches a fifth overtime, teams will no longer trade off starts at the opponent's 25-yard line. Instead, teams will run alternating two-point conversions until a winner is determined.
Also, a two-minute rest period will be added after the second and fourth overtimes.
