The NCAA has been one of the sports organizations comfortable with changing some restrictions, with one such change occurring on Tuesday evening. It was announced that the DI Council voted to remove cannabinoids from the banned drug class, meaning players can smoke marijuana without any issues with college football availability.
People reacted to the news in hilarious fashion on social media by making jokes about which schools are going to be positively impacted by this.
"Michigan gonna be giving kids zips on OVs" One reactor replied
However, not everyone on social media was in favor of this change.
"Wait, I thought weed made you laid back, chill, uninterested, have zero cares, react slower, think slower etc. - why would this be good for athletes to use & perform at the highest level." One commenter replied
"Terrible. This nightmare continues to get worse!!!" Another user commented
"Common L for NCAA." Someone else responded
Are there any other rule changes in college football?
College football has seen a lot of different changes implemented for this upcoming season. One of the biggest changes is the implementation of the 12-team College Football Playoff, which is eight more teams than we have seen in the previous decade.
However, two significant changes are going to be noticeable right away as well. There will be communication from the players to the sidelines similar to the NFL, meaning there will be constant communication in the helmets for the coaching staff to the players.
That also means these college football players will be more prepared for the professional leagues as they have been more prepared for pre-snap communication.
The other major rule change is the implementation of a two-minute warning, similar to the National Football League. With two minutes remaining in the second and fourth quarters, the clock will be stopped as an official timeout. If a play is going on and the clock surpasses two minutes remaining, the clock will automatically stop after the play concludes and the two-minute warning begins.
