INDIANAPOLIS — Following a sign-stealing scandal that rocked college football and hung over Michigan's championship run in 2023, the NCAA has approved the use of coach-to-player helmet communications in games for the 2024 season. The football rules committee last month made a recommendation to allow — but not require — teams at the highest tier of Division I to use radio technology similar to what NFL teams use to call in plays. Only one player for each team will be permitted to be in communication with coaches while on the field.
