* On December 20, the [[ASUN Conference]] and [[Western Athletic Conference]], which had entered into a football-only partnership in 2021, announced that they would fully merge their football leagues effective in 2023. The new conference, tentatively known as the [[ASUN–WAC Football Conference]], will feature ASUN members [[Austin Peay Governors football|Austin Peay]], [[Central Arkansas Bears football|Central Arkansas]], [[Eastern Kentucky Colonels football|Eastern Kentucky]], and [[North Alabama Lions football|North Alabama]], plus WAC members [[Abilene Christian Wildcats football|Abilene Christian]], [[Southern Utah Thunderbirds football|Southern Utah]], [[Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks football|Stephen F. Austin]], [[Tarleton State Texans football|Tarleton]], and [[Utah Tech Trailblazers football|Utah Tech]]. The new football conference will play a six-game conference schedule in 2023 before starting round-robin play in 2024.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://wacsports.com/sports/fball/2022-23/releases/2023fbconfschedule |title=ASUN And WAC Unveil 2023 Football Schedule |publisher=Western Athletic Conference |date=December 20, 2022 |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref>

==Rule changes==
The following rule changes were recommended by the NCAA Football Rules Committee for the 2022 season.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.ncaa.org/news/2022/3/4/media-center-appeals-process-proposed-for-football-players-called-for-targeting-in-second-half.aspx|title=Appeals Process Proposed for Football Players called for targeting |publisher=NCAA |date=March 4, 2022 |accessdate=March 4, 2022}}</ref>

* When players are disqualified for a targeting call in the second half or in overtime (which requires a carryover penalty of sitting out the first half of the next scheduled game), an appeals process will be available to allow the National Coordinator of Officials (currently Steve Shaw) to review tapes of the targeting penalty for consideration of not requiring the player to sit out the first half of the following game.
* Injury timeouts awarded due to "deceptive actions" during a game will also be able to reviewed by the National Coordinator of Officials to determine what sanctions, if any, against teams who use this tactic, enforced at the conference or school level.
* Blocking below the waist will only be permitted inside the tackle box by linemen and stationary backs. Blocks below the waist outside of the tackle box are not allowed.
* Defensive holding will remain a 10-yard penalty but will always carry an automatic first down.
* Codifying the rule change made shortly after the [[2021 ACC Championship Game]], ball carriers who simulate a feet-first slide will be declared down at that spot.
* Uniform rules would require the sock/leg covering to go from the shoe to the bottom of the pants, similar to the NFL rule.

==Other headlines==
* May 18 – The [[ASUN Conference]] and [[Western Athletic Conference]] announced that they had renewed their football alliance from the 2021 season. Each conference had 6 football members eligible for the 2022 FCS playoffs, the minimum number needed for an automatic playoff bid, but dropped to 5 such members with [[Jacksonville State Gamecocks football|Jacksonville State]] (ASUN) and [[Sam Houston State Bearkats football|Sam Houston]] (WAC) starting FBS transitions in 2022, rendering them ineligible for the playoffs. The WAC's playoff-eligible membership later dropped to 3 when Incarnate Word backed out of its planned move to the WAC and Lamar accelerated its return to the Southland Conference to 2022. The 8 other members eventually competed for a single automatic berth in the FCS playoffs.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://asunsports.org/sports/fball/2021-22/releases/20220518bz4t65 |title=ASUN and WAC Renew Football Alliance |publisher=ASUN Conference |date=May 18, 2022 |access-date=May 19, 2022}}</ref>

** Transfer windows were adopted for all Division I sports. Student-athletes who wish to be immediately eligible at their next school must enter the [[NCAA transfer portal]] within the designated period(s) for their sport. For FCS football, two windows were established: a 45-day window starting the day after postseason selections are made, and a spring window from May 1–15. Accommodations will be made for participants in the FCS championship game.

** Transferring student-athletes will be guaranteed their financial aid at their next school through graduation.

Austin, Tarleton, and Utah Tech from the WAC. UTRGV would become the 10th member upon its planned addition of football in 2025. The new football conference also reportedly plans to move "from what is currently known as FCS football to what is currently known as FBS football at the earliest practicable date."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35216756/atlantic-sun-wac-teams-pairing-move-fbs-sources-say |title=Atlantic Sun, WAC teams pairing up to attempt move to FBS, sources say |first=Pete |last=Thamel |website=ESPN.com |date=December 9, 2022 |access-date=December 9, 2022}}</ref> The ASUN and WAC confirmed the football merger, though not plans for an FBS move, on December 20.
