new rules for 2023 football:
1. outside of the last 2 minutes of each half, the clock will not stop for 1st downs in d1 and d2 football.
2. teams will not be allowed to call consecutive timeouts
3. penalties at the end of the first and third quarters will be applied on the first play of the following quarter. sounds like no more untimed plays at the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters. all plays will be timed plays.
Is #2 the McMackin Rule?
Just kidding - it must have to do with end of game icing of kickers.

All the new rules look logical enough to me, except the second one.
Were these timeouts so imbalanced that they required changes to the rules
In August 2022, the Division I Board adopted changes to transfer rules that require a school that awards a scholarship to a transfer to continue to provide that scholarship for the rest of that student-athlete's eligibility, unless they graduate, transfer again or leave for professional athletics opportunities.
The council this week adopted two modifications to those requirements. The first will allow transfers who opt not to participate in sports after a coaching change at their second school to continue to receive their scholarships without counting against team scholarship limits. The second modification exempts a school from being obligated to count the scholarship if the transferring student-athlete does not actually enroll at the school.
The council also introduced a proposal into the legislative cycle that, if approved, will continue to mandate that transfers who stop competing for nonathletics reasons receive scholarship funds until they graduate, transfer or pursue professional athletics opportunities. However, the proposed change would no longer count those individuals as part of a team's scholarship limits if they withdraw from the school, enabling athletics scholarship dollars to be reallocated to a currently participating student-athlete.
Transfer windows
The council introduced a proposal to reduce notification-of-transfer windows to 30 days, down from 60. Data from the past year indicate that most student-athletes enter the Transfer Portal at the beginning of the transfer window.
Now that the proposal has been formally introduced, respective oversight committees and the Division I Student Athlete Advisory Committee will gather additional feedback and offer potential amendments to the proposal over the summer. A final vote on the proposal will be considered by the council during its October meeting.

Yet another rule change that favors P4 programs (who have larger budgets & resources for NIL, locker rooms, equipment, training table, etc.) over G5 programs (like UH who have limited budget & resources). https://twitter.com/RossDellenger/status/1768729697901326427

The Division I Council on Wednesday unanimously adopted a package of rules changes to allow transferring student-athletes who meet certain academic eligibility requirements to be immediately eligible at their new school, regardless of whether they transferred previously. The council's action is not final until the meeting concludes Thursday and is subject to ratification by the Division I Board of Directors at its meeting later this month. If ratified, the rules would be effective immediately.
Specifically, to be immediately eligible after a transfer, undergraduate student-athletes would have to have left their previous school while academically eligible and in good standing (not subject to disciplinary suspension or dismissal) and meet progress-toward-degree requirements at their new school before competing. For graduate transfer student-athletes to be eligible, they would have to earn a degree from their previous school, leave while academically eligible and be enrolled as a full-time postgraduate student while continuing to satisfy minimum academic standards.
