NCAA Rule Interpretation Update Affecting UIL Football Games
The NCAA has recently clarified the interpretation of the 10-second runoff rule in situations where an injury timeout occurs in the final seconds of the 2nd or 4th quarters. This update, approved by the CFO Board of Managers, is intended to close a potential loophole in the rule and ensure fair play.
**Key Update:**
- If a player is injured on a play where there is a temporary stoppage of the clock for a first down with 10 seconds or less remaining in the 2nd or 4th quarters, the opponent has the option of a 10-second runoff. The runoff can be avoided if the team takes a charged timeout.
This change aims to prevent teams from gaining an unfair clock advantage by feigning or exploiting injuries. The updated rule will be enforced in all UIL football games effective immediately.
Please ensure that your coaching staff and players are aware of this update, as it may have a significant impact on game strategy, especially in close end-of-game situations.
