What CFB rule changes are needed? Assume no COVID. Here are some examples.
1. Bowl game Opt-out rule. A) Bowl game starters get paid $2k-$6k depending on bowl. Opt out guys get no pay. B) NFL teams pays $20k when signing an opt-out player. Money goes to NCAA academic scholarship pool.
2. Targeting rule. Make helmets with a skin that can peel/scar/dent on impact. If there is a visible dent on the play, guilty. Maybe also use for concussion protocol. It would be a hassle to certify equipment before games.
3. Kickoff Touchback rule. If ball goes through back of end zone, 25 yard line. Fair catches, 20 yard line.
4. Punting. A) Only 2 coverage guys allowed downfield before punt is made.
B) Ball is automatically downed when it hits. No rolls or bounces allowed.
5. Hands to the face penalty. Applies to all players, including ball carriers.
6. Encroachment. If a defender jumps causing OL to jump, penalties offset.
7. Players are allowed only 1 transfer.
