1) The rule is the same as it has always been. If the sub is at the table when the ball becomes dead and the clock is stopped, they can come in. If they aren't at the table, they can't. R3-3-1(d)
2) The rules sez that the timer has to use a sounding device or game horn to signal substitutions- again as per R3-3-1(d).
3) What ain't right is this is coming from a fanboy board, not an official's board. Did you really expect anything different? You know better than that, Wes.
Or.....it could be something recommended by the.....wait for it....SEC.
