NCAA panel approves recommendation to continue stopping clock for first downs in Division III

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:39:09 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The game clock will continue to stop for first downs in Division III for at least another year after the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Committee approved a recommendation from the Football Rules Committee on Thursday.The biggest college football rule change for this season in the other divisions will have the game clock continuing to run when a first down is gained except in the last two minutes of either half.

Division III coaches and administrators who opposed the rule said they were satisfied with the current number of plays in their game.There were an av...
