Just saw some new rule changes for 2012.
1. Kick off will be from 30 to 35 yard line.Touchbacks will start at the 25 instead of 20.
2. If your helmet comes off you have to sit out the next play.

i hate how they continue to change rules every single season now.
it's getting ridiculous and eventually over time will not even resemble the same game if they keep it up.

Jumping over a player to block a punt.
Terrible imo.
If your helmet coming off because of an opponent hitting you, you dont sit. This is dumb. What is the point? How else is your helmet going to come off?

There is one more part to this rule change. With less than 1 minute remaining in either half, if the ball carrier's helmet comes off, and that is the only reason the play is being whistled dead, there is also a 10-second runoff. If a team has a timeout remaining, the coach can elect to use the timeout instead of running 10 seconds off the clock. But the player must still leave the field for one play, unless his helmet comes off as the result of a foul.
Here is your ultimate nightmare hypothetical: Let's say 9 seconds are left in a game, and your team is driving. The ball carrier's helmet comes off, and the play is whistled dead. Your team has no timeouts left. Officials must announce the game is over by rule. [Emphasis mine.]
hahahahaha

One rule change to the formation -- 10 players on the kicking team must have one foot on or inside the 30 in order to cut down on running starts.
and
On onside kicks, any player on the receiving team is given the same kick-catch and fair-catch protection whether the ball is kicked directly off the tee or is immediately driven into the ground and bounces into the air.

If a player who is not the ball carrier loses his helmet, he must stop playing. He cannot make a tackle, continue blocking or running a route, for example. If he continues prolonged participation without a helmet, he will be whistled for a 15-yard penalty. There is some gray area here. One example mentioned -- what if an offensive lineman loses his helmet while blocking somebody coming after the quarterback? Does he stop playing to allow the end to go after the quarterback unimpeded? The key will be determining what "prolonged participation" is. [Emphasis mine.]

The NCAA official on CFBL said if the helmet is removed by the action of an opponent you dont have to leave for one play. He didn't say specifically due to a foul.

Tighten and buckle your chin strap and its not an issue. Too many guys wear their chin straps loose and their helmet pops off easily. I like the helmet rule.
The kickoff rules on the other hand get dumber and dumber every year.

Agree
but he still has to catch it.
The blocking a punt rule is too subjective. I dislike.
