Major NCAA Rules Changes
for 2007
Each
change or altered segment is identified in the rules by a screened background.
The figures below refer to rule and section, respectively. The rule numbers on
the left margin are from last year’s book. The page numbers in the right margin
are for this book. In all Approved Rulings (A.R.), Team A is the offensive team
and the home team and Team B is the defensive and visiting team.
If
there is a conflict between the official rules and the approved rulings, the
rules take precedence. Thanks to Doyle Smith, formerly of the
