Proposed 2024 Rule Changes

[Stanaland]

Update:

Since the uniforms rule was not passed by the NCAA, the UIL rule will reman the same as it was in 2023.

I thought there was going to be enough push from the THSCA to get something done here, but I was wrong.

Here are the released rule modifications for 2024:

-no change to uniform policy, as Coach said

-no change in technology on the field

-coaches' booth and locker rooms can have some tech

-no change on killing the clock after first down

- not adopting 2 min timeout in each half

I think that's the high points.

This looks good to me. No being the "bad guy" on uniforms. However, I would like to use NCAA timing rules with first downs and the 2 Minute Warning, but all in all, I like it.

I'm not sure what the right answer with the knee pads is, but the end of the pants routinely rides up to above the knee for a lot of players. Our players have tried to tape the pants down below the knee, but it doesn't hold of course. I get the intent of the rule...as long as it is only affecting those purposely miswearing (is this even a word) their uniforms.
