FCS North Dakota State will use in-helmet comms vs. Colorado

College football’s Week 1 kicks off Thursday night and one notable matchup is FCS North Dakota State visiting FBS Colorado.

The NCAA updated its rules this season to allow in-helmet communications during games for FBS schools. FCS schools will still be limited to verbal and sign-based communication, except in rare cases.

One of those instances will be Thursday night’s game. FCS teams will be allowed to use in-helmet communications when playing FBS opponents.

Big Ten Network’s Guy Haberman pointed out on X that North Dakota State decided to spend the cash to use the new communication system against Colorado.
