Sometimes change is not good

Some of the things these guys come up with is amazing to me. Leave the damn game alone and leave it the way it is! :angry:

They need to stop messing with things like this. That's what happened with the PFL (Pansy Football League). One little change there, and before you know, you breathe on the QB and get 15 yards for roughing the QB.

I work with some guys who do sportscasts at my office. During bowl season, they would come to me (because i'm the only one at work who likes college f'ball), and complain that the games were too long. I informed them to stick to their PFL and not even watch College Ball...

they're bored during the offseason too.

If they really wanted to reduce the time a game takes - reduce the TV timeouts! Either the length of each of them or the number of them, or both. I was at the CU-NU game in Boulder where it was freezing a$$ cold - and the game was over 4 hours long. And there was no overtime. But even after the 3-and-a-half hour mark, the commercial breaks were still just as long and just as many of them. That was simply too long for a regulation game (if there had been overtime, that would have been fine).

But the NCAA will never make a change that might affect the TV money.

The word "advertisement" is in there because he copied/pasted it from a news website that had an ad there . . . it's not part of the article.

:yeah

I have always thought that there should be a limit on the TV time outs. The network could still make their money by selling those limited slots to the highest bidder.

It makes ya wonder how many damn commercial spots they sell. Whether the game is regulation, has lots of team timeouts, or triple OT they always seem to have a crap ton of spots. Maybe some companies are getting more then their money worth.
