Pending approval from the NCAA Football Rules Committee later this month, the ACC has approved the use of two new technologies during its football games this fall.

"Unanimously" approved by the league's coaches, the conference will allow teams to access in-game video in order to increase their ability to make adjustments, and the league will allow teams to utilize coach-to-player, one-way communication devices between the sideline and the field.

The changes have been in the works for some time, but the Michigan scandal this fall hastened the use of one-way radio technology to make sign stealing (and its various methods) obsolete.

From the conference:

The membership also approved the implementation of two new technology initiatives beginning with the 2024 football season, pending final approval later this month from the NCAA Football Rules Committee. Unanimously supported by ACC head football coaches, for the upcoming 2024 season ACC football teams will be provided with access to in-game video which will enhance their ability to make in-game adjustments. Additionally, ACC teams will be provided with access to coach-to-player communication devices that will allow for one-way communication between the sideline and player(s) on the field.

I’m assuming that games against non conference opponents would not include these toys.

Yes.

It's another reason for the need for a split: more than half of the teams in the FBS division can't afford the equipment.
