USFL Replay Command at FOX Sports Control Center in Los Angeles will make all replay decisions.

Reason: Achieve accurate, consistent, and faster rulings.

Each coach will be allowed one replay challenge.

Effect: Fewer challenges needed thanks to expedited reviews and video assistance.
Reason: Improve game flow.

USFL Replay Command will have the authority to overrule incorrect personal foul calls, including roughing the passer, hits on defenseless players, facemasks, horsecollars, and more. USFL Replay Command will also be responsible for determining whether the act of pass interference is obviously intentional when it occurs 15 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

Effect: Correct obvious officiating miscalls related to personal fouls.
Reason: Get the call right and achieve greater fairness.

Teams will have two options to retain possession of the ball after scoring. The first option will be a traditional onside kick attempt from the 25-yard line. The second will be running a fourth down and 12 play from their own 33-yard line – if the team makes a first down, it retains possession, if it fails, then the defense gets the ball.

Effect: Create an alternate way for trailing teams to keep the ball after scoring.
Reason: Successfully executing and recovering an onside kick is rare, so this provides another option while increasing risk/reward strategy for coaches.

I think some of these rules have been talked about here before, now we have a chance to see if these rule changes can work in the NFL. Having replay look at personal fouls and being able to override the call on the field.
