Yahoo! sport reported Tuesday that the NCAA was evaluating the situation. A source confirmed the news to On3 and said the change was planned to take place this week.

“We spend an inordinate amount of time on situations and some situations don't come around very often in college football, but we've obviously been working on that,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said of the 12-man penalty Monday night. “You can see the result.”

Previously, the Rules Committee has responded to incidents like Saturday's by issuing midseason interpretive bulletins. The bulletins are intended to give officers advice on how to assess the next call. Changes are intended to discourage coaches from further exploiting the penalties or rules.

A formal rule change can only be made during the off-season process.
