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:
“Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power vested in it; a liberty to follow my own will in all things, when the rule prescribes not, and not to be subject to the inconstant, unknown, arbitrary will of another man.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
