Shaw will succeed Rogers Redding, whose term expires in August.I have a strong passion for the NCAA football playing rules, and I am honored to lead our rules-making process into a very exciting future, Shaw said. This future will certainly contain many challenges, but I believe that our game builds strong character and develops future leaders of America and, therefore, must be protected and enhanced. In addition, our game also must evolve into our new world, and the lens of player safety must be the key focus in all that we do.Shaw was considered one of the top referees in the sport before he was named coordinator of football officials in the SEC.

He currently is developing a centralized collaborative instant replay system for the SEC.Steve Shaw is an excellent choice, Redding said. He has demonstrated over the years a good knowledge of the rules and will be an effective addition to the rules-making process. Shaw has served on the NCAA Football Rules Editorial Subcommittee since 2013. He also has served four years on the board of directors for the National Association of Sports Officials, including a stint as chairman in 2011-12.Steve Shaw is a proven and respected leader in college football and has the skills and abilities to excel as secretary-rule editor, said Bob Nielson, chair of the NCAA Football Rules Committee and coach at the University of South Dakota.
