The CFL announced today that its Board of Governors is considering four rule changes:
• Moving back the kick-off following a safety touch, to reduce the number of times a team chooses to take a knee in its own end zone;
• Giving coaches the green light to use so called “wildcat” formations that would move the quarterback around, instread of requiring him to stand behind or under centre;
• Requiring a team that kicks a successful field goal to then kick off to its’ opponents, increasing the number of kick returns ;
• Awarding a team a third challenge of an official’s ruling using instant replay if its’ first two challenges are successfull.
All four ideas were approved today by the league’s rules committee, and were among those suggested by CFL fans.
