A number of new rules approved by the panel for the 2015 season include:



An eight-person officiating system will be allowed if a conference or school chooses.

A 15-yard unsportsmanlike foul will be called on players who push or pull opponents off piles.

Officials will treat illegal equipment issues - such as jerseys tucked under the shoulder pads or exposed back pads - by making the player leave the field for at least one play.

​Instant replay reviews will be allowed to see if a kicking team player blocked the receiving team before the ball traveled 10 yards on onside-kick plays.

Non-standard/overbuilt facemasks will be prohibited.
