Oklahoma College Football Officials


Welcome to the NCAA site for Oklahoma College Football Officials!

Many football officials acrosss the state are working in the next level. This section of the GTOA website is being made available to share and publish all NCAA information that is provided for study and review. This will include camp/clinic information, rules study group information, schedules, important dates, events, locations & times. You may also check the GTOA Calendar links on the homepage as NCAA events will be published there as well. Pre-season and practice tests will be available and as the season begins, weekly tests will be posted.

This will be a very dynamic site for the NCAA officials. Information will be published here as soon as it is received and allow the Oklahoma NCAA Officials a place to find valuable information to help improve skills and prepare for each season.

It is suggested that you join the CFO (College Football Officials, LLC) where all video and training materials are available (this site is part of the ArbiterSports Nework).  This allows more officials to gain access to important information and to have the benefit of video that is produced by different conferences and easily shared within a larger national network to continue moving forwared toward the goal of consistency in officiating. 

Be sure to visit the CFO West Affiliates website, footballofficiating.com!. This website can be your single-source for weekly bulletins, tests and information. The site also provides updates and information regarding camps and clinics each year and any communication that needs to be addressed during the off-season. Previously, mass e-mails were sent to officials from the respective supervisor's offices to roster officials and then those officials would forward that information on to other officials. Now, all of that information is published to this website and mass-emailing has been eliminated. Be sure to review this site often in an effort to stay up-to-date will all current officiating news! You MUST register with the site to access material and registration is free!

2011-12 NCAA Rules Changes

The Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP) approved the rules changes proposed by the NCAA Football Rules Committee. This action means all of the rules posted previously will be in effect for the 2011 and 2012 football seasons. We will continue to post notes, information and play examples about the changes to this site as they become available.

Mechanics are a key part of your game. It is always beneficial to study mechanics and differences that you may have to work with. The Reno camp is a very popular camp for officials nationwide. They use a specific set of mechanics for their camp that has been developed over the past 12 years. Ken Rivera has provided these mechanics to publish and review.
