Getting your player ready...
Eye black with messages and wedge blocks will be banned from college football this fall, and taunting in the field of play will start costing teams points in 2011. One year after the NFL banned wedge blocking on kickoffs because of safety concerns, the NCAA followed the lead. But it’s the taunting rule that will create the biggest buzz. Beginning in 2011, live-ball penalties will be assessed from the spot of the foul and eliminate the score. Examples include players finishing touchdown runs by high-stepping into the end zone or pointing the ball toward an opponent.
