2007 Rule Changes?
Found this on ESPN today about possible rule changes for 2007.

Here's a quick overview.
To make up for the time being added back into games, the rules committee proposed some changes aimed at speeding up the game that included using a 15-second play clock immediately after timeouts instead of a 25-second clock (Vandy could be in trouble on this one), reducing the time teams have for timeouts from 65 seconds to 30 seconds, kicking off from the 30-yard line instead of the 35 to cut down on touchbacks, and limiting the amount of time officials have to review a replay to two minutes. Clark said the average time used by officials last year was one minute, 49 seconds.
The rule changes need to be approved by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel on March 12.
