It would appear that College Football is ready to step into the modern era by finally implementing some much needed technology into the game. According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, College Football is expected to add in-helmet communication, tablets, and a 2-minute warning.

The NCAA rules committee is expected to vote on and implement these changes in the near future.

The in-helmet communication is something that has been a hot-button issue in college football for a number of years now, and it was highlighted during the 2023 season with allegations of sign-stealing surrounding the Michigan Football program. Without in-helmet communication, teams send in their play calling signals to the offense but using various signs and hand gestures, which creates an environment where opposing teams/coaches can decipher those signs to the advantage defensively. In-helmet communication would help eliminate nearly all of what created the controversy with Michigan in 2023.

The committee is also expected to allow teams to use tablet technology on the sidelines for reviewing plays during the game, something that the NFL has implemented for a number of years. Lastly, the committee is expected to vote in favor of having a two-minute warning at the end of each half of play, another move that would mimic what the NFL has done for a number of years.

While there is no definitive timetable for for when College Football would implement these changes, the belief is that it will happen sooner rather than later.
