Yankee Conference - Overtime Rule

Overtime Rule

The Yankee Conference was the first college football conference to implement college football's current overtime rules. The overtime rules known as the "Kansas Plan" or "Kansas Playoff" where each team is given a possession at the 25 yard line was used by the Yankee Conference to determine the end to tie games well before it was adopted by the rest of the NCAA in 1996.

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    “Democracy don’t rule the world,
    You’d better get that in your head;
    This world is ruled by violence
    But I guess that’s better left unsaid.”
    —Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
