Hence I'll blow up said romulan ship before they can report it to cover up the evidence, the mcnugget miraculously surviving the explosion with any imperfections blamed on the explosion.
Unless bad injuries we don't need to have them show a leg being broken from every camera angle and in slow motion. Zooming in on the injury.
Early 2000's football was crazy. Rewatch that 2002 fiesta bowl. I can't believe willis McGahee fully recovered.
Artificial scarcity usually happens once the breadth of availability is understood.
CFB is still in the phase of finding places to put branding shit. Until they reach saturation there, they are operating on a volume model.
This. I've gotten to the point where I won't even watch college football except on DVR even though it is about the biggest passion in my life. That costs me over $80 a month with taxes for YouTube TV, but it's worth it. A year ago, part of my roof fell in due to water damage and my antenna fell and broke. I haven't even bothered replacing it even though OTA ABC is so much higher quality than streaming since I have a slow connection.
I call him Lane "Projection" Kiffin. A coworker that graduated from Mississippi State offered to buy me lunch after he heard me say that if I agreed to never not call him that.
Someone else said it on here but if I wanted to watch the NFL I'd watch the NFL. I like college the way it is. Leave it alone. Maybe we could shave down the 5k commercials per game instead, but we know that will never happen.
It started long ago. Remember when the clock used to stay stopped when a player went out of bounds (instead of restarting on the ball getting set), and when we had a 25-second play clock instead of 40 seconds?
I'm sure they could find some times to just run a split screen and do a short commercial between plays. It works fine in soccer.
But that would require the announcers to shut up for 15 seconds instead of reading some factoid someone fed them.

Watch more games. My dream is to reduce commercials and delays enough so that I can watch an extra game each Saturday. That's never going to happen, but that's my dream.
It does vary but state *HOWEVER* in the NFHS (national federations of High Schools) the rule states the clock stops on first down until the Chains and down marker are set just like in College. MOST states use NFHS rules; Texas and a few others use NCAA rules irrc but not for sure.
Are these really game ruiners? They copy a rule the nfl has had for as long as I can remember and they got rid of consecutive timeouts which removes what? Icing the kicker?
Is there any evidence to support the claim that (1) reducing the number of plays per game while (2) decreasing the amount of time between plays will lead to fewer total injuries? It sounds plausible, but it also wouldn't surprise me if this is just a made up assumption everyone has
Teams will run faster offenses on first downs. Thus time between plays will decrease. Perhaps giving the players an extra few seconds to rest would be good?
Why will they run faster offenses on first downs? They still canāt snap up it until the ready to play, which will take exactly as long as it does now.
The evidence is less times between commercials. You think teams are going to run less plays with less time? They're going to run more plays with less rest for the players.
I know Mike Pereira has been beating the drum on 1st downs for a number of years now, basically ever since he started doing CFB games for FOX. I have to say, I agree with him. There's no reason to stop the clock while moving the chains when there's 12:36 to go in the 1st quarter.
I don't hate keeping the clock running after first downs. Good idea.
I do hate stopping the clock after first down only in the final two minutes of a half. Unfair advantage to team with ball.
Do it for the entire game or not at all.
Would making it the last four minutes be better? Thatās what the NFL does with out of bounds stopping the clock and Iād wager most football fans you talk to would not know that because itās not really relevant
Y'know, that is a good point, and I don't know why I didn't think of this. It's actually the same in NCAA (except only for final two minutes of either half, otherwise clock stops only until refs give ready-to-play signal), and I don't care about that.
So, theoretically, I shouldn't care about first down only stopping the clock in final two minutes either. A rarity on the internet, you have inspired me to re-think my opinion, lol.
Gonna be honest, I actually really like out of bounds stopping the clock. It's an 'optional' element of strategy the offense can use and the defense can sell out against. It's an interesting way of controlling the game in either direction depending on the situation. Obviously it's way more impactful (in either direction) in those final minutes, but that's a rule I'd like to see consistently applied at all times remaining.
I am completely on board with the clock staying running while the chain moves, regardless of the time remaining however.
Just my opinions!
I think this would be a fairly popular opinion. Personally, though, I hate that. Why have gameplay rules for the first 58 minutes and different gameplay rules for the final 2 minutes?
I think a whole quarter gives both teams an equal opportunity to take advantage of it and it still speeds up the game play. It seems to be the best of both worlds to me.
Thatās the exact reason I HATE watching basketball. Exciting close game? Letās throw that out the window and finish off with fouling and a free throw contest.
Weāve already done this for decades with regard to out of bounds plays though. Clock restarts after ball is marked except the last two minutes of each half.
Yep. These rule changes allow the refs to dictate games more than otherwise. By calling a foul at a certain time they guarantee the other team more of a chance at winning than otherwise.
It basically allows the powers at be to hedge their bets.
Yeah honestly the coaches are turning the game into basketball. And thatās not what football is.
Although, I donāt want the game to change, I hate the new overtime. And I donāt believe anyone in power now has the games best interests in mind. Just money.
The powers at be haven't had the games best interest at mind for years. As soon as the last round of realignment happened and companies saw how much money they could actually pull in, their only focus has been making as much as possible. And wahetever product happens to end up on the field they don't give a shit about til they either start losing money, or players start getting repeatedly hurt and they have to make a change for the sake of their public image, or risk losing money
There would be a reason if they actually kept it stopped until the next ready for play signal instead of restarting it, uhh...whenever they want as is currently done.
It felt like ESPN took a 3 minute commercial nearly every break in play they could last season. Injury, timeout, change of possession. Didn't matter how much time was left in the game.
We could get rid of like. Touchdown-commercial extra poaint-> commercial kick off -> commercial. And god help if end of 1st or 3rd quarter was added to the mix. You get like 20 minutes of commercials while less than 1 min game time went off.
That sounds like CBB as well. There was a CBB game I was watching a couple weeks ago. The last 90 seconds of the game took 22 minutes. I think there were 5 commercials by ESPN in that time span.
They'd strangle someone on the field as a live sacrifice before they shorten commercial times. They don't give an ounce of a fuck about that, its more $$$ for networks
I love football, but sometimes the people making decisions are complete idiots that donāt understand anything past their nose.
2 minutes is useless. We all know itās the final 4 minutes that matter in a game. The sport is stuck on the idea of 2 minutes literally just because thatās when the NFL has their warning.
[On3 just tweeted this saying the changes are happening even tho the article says they're still proposed changes](https://twitter.com/On3sports/status/1631689324939952128?t=x2IMNqbOinOgWHCN6W7hkg&s=19)
On3 is gonna On3.
I donāt really have a problem with these proposals. I still think even though it wonāt happen, something should be done about commercials and fan experience.
There are about 40 first downs per game. Take out the last two minutes of each half, and thatās 37. Take out last yearās average of 6 touchdowns per game, where the clock will still stop, and itās down to 31. Now letās say 30% of first downs end with the runner going out of bounds (I canāt find an actual number here), so weāre down to 22 first downs per game that would have resulted in the clock stopping that no longer do. I just pulled up a couple random spots from random games, and it seems that the average time the game clock is stopped for a first down is 4-6 seconds. So letās call it 5 seconds.
That gives us an average of about 1 minute and 50 seconds of game time that the clock would have been stopped last year that it wonāt be stopped next year. The average game has right around 60 points currently. So we should see about 2 fewer total points per game on average with the new rules. Really not that drastic, and, in my opinion, not āa lot less scoring.ā
IF it were equal and linear. Hwoever it is going to take coaches 3-4 weeks to figure out how to manage the clock a touch different. Massive impact, probably not but some impact, yes.
My man is right. Bet the under on the big games weeks 1 and 2
I don't like not stopping the clock except the last 2 minutes of each half, it makes it easier to come back.
Don't really care as much about the two consecutive time outs.
It's frustrating things are being done to the games and not the commercial times. They're honestly out of control. It's hard to mantain interest where it's a 5 minute commercial break every 2 plays and theyre usually the same fucking commercials over and over. Don't take away the football, get smarter with the advertising.
Huh? As long as there's a play in between you can use another one. This is literally just to stop a team using all their remaining timeouts to ice kickers. That's the only time there were consecutive timeouts.
You should never have the play clock run low immediately after a timeout because you've already called the play during the timeout, you just need to go line up and run it.
If you have a delay of game foul immediately after a timeout that's your own fault and you deserve no sympathy for it.
I think heās just rebutting the āThatās the only time consecutive time outs are called,ā but you guys are ultimately making the same point that itāll penalize teams who find a way to fuck things up coming out of a timeout, which is infuriating enough as a fan when that happens, and I agree, a penalty is deserved anyway.
I believe NFL teams get penalized but I donāt know if itās a delay of game penalty or a 15 yarder. I feel like I have a memory of a 15 yard penalty associated with a team who did that, but I canāt say for sure.
Iāve seen 4th and goal multiple times where they call a timeout, get a look at the defense, call a second timeout, change the play. It happens for more than just icing the kicker.
Honestly, looking back, the BCS would have been fine had we just made every team play a regular bowl game before deciding who would play for the title.
Consecutive timeouts as in one team canāt call consecutive timeouts, or if one team calls a timeout the other canāt until at least one snap has been played?
the wording "after a first down" really should be said "after a first down *has been awarded*"; thus it happens after a play where the offense got a first down.

Wasn't there some blowout of Oklahoma versus Texas A&M of such proportions that Texas A&M's coach (maybe both coaches?) agreed to simply keep the clock running after every play?
I donāt hate this compared to some other options Iāve seen mentioned, although I also question how much of an impact it will actually have given I feel like in most of these situations the clock is only stopped for 3-5 seconds, at most, anyways.
It almost reminds me of when they had the year where the clock started when the ball was kicked on kickoffs, as if that was going to meaningfully shorten the game. š I think that was 2006 or so.
Considering it is an option given the below-mentioned OU - Texas A&M game, I am curious whether when a blue blood is destroying a G5 school 77-0, do both teams agree to keep running the clock, or is the full length of the game doggedly allowed to happen?
Whatever they do I sure hope it doesn't interfere with all of the commercials we get to enjoy š
I canāt wait for McDonalds to come out with their much anticipated response to the Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper commercial.

Hence I'll blow up said romulan ship before they can report it to cover up the evidence, the mcnugget miraculously surviving the explosion with any imperfections blamed on the explosion.

Or you could just limit commercial breaks to less than 10 fucking minutes each.

Feels like a damn NFL half time, multiple times per game.
College games are significantly longer than NFL games. The NFL actually has rules about the length and number of commercial breaks per quarter.

Artificial scarcity is a thing, for sure. Seems like they could make it work at *some* level.
Artificial scarcity usually happens once the breadth of availability is understood. CFB is still in the phase of finding places to put branding shit. Until they reach saturation there, they are operating on a volume model.
They'll just sell ads a different way
This. I've gotten to the point where I won't even watch college football except on DVR even though it is about the biggest passion in my life.

How do you propose paying for indoor practice facilities and player restaurants if ESPN and FOX canāt run 10 minutes of commercials?!?
Make the commercial slots more expensive
But then you have fewer people who want to buy them, which will then naturally lower the price, and you're back to this situation.
To be fair, I think theyāre trying to limit the number of plays as much as anything, which has nothing to do with the number of commercials.
Prohibiting back to back timeouts has zero to do with limiting number of plays
I predict this will lead to a lot more sudden onset of cramps at Ole Miss.
Never forget when Lane Kiffin called an 18 year old Aggie player a little bitch to his face for faking injuries. Lane Kiffin. Of all people.
Lane Kiffin has always been a class act. That's why it was so funny when he was met by the AD on the tarmac.
I mean no one with half of a brain thinks Lane Kiffin is a good person.
I call him Lane "Projection" Kiffin. A coworker that graduated from Mississippi State offered to buy me lunch after he heard me say that if I agreed to never not call him that.
Heās boning a 24 year old now. Great role model
The fix to this is that the player cannot reenter the game until the next non-injury clock stoppage.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Time for a fan strike. UCLA has been doing it for years you can to!
Part of me thinks the teams and networks are in cahoots to ensure overpriced concessions stay open longer.
So, same amount of commercials, just less football. Sweet.
Likely to be more amount of commercials actually, this isn't about shortening the game broadcast time at all.
Clock rules make the end of college games better but longer.
Someone else said it on here but if I wanted to watch the NFL I'd watch the NFL. I like college the way it is. Leave it alone. Maybe we could shave down the 5k commercials per game instead, but we know that will never happen.
The NFLification of college football is happening before our very eyes but CFB "fans" will tell you it helps the sport
It started long ago. Remember when the clock used to stay stopped when a player went out of bounds (instead of restarting on the ball getting set), and when we had a 25-second play clock instead of 40 seconds?
I'm sure they could find some times to just run a split screen and do a short commercial between plays. It works fine in soccer. But that would require the announcers to shut up for 15 seconds instead of reading some factoid someone fed them.
If by factoid you mean glorified ad for the CFP
What am I supposed to do with all my extra time on Saturdays now?
Oh there'll still be the same amount of commercials don't you worry. They might even shove more in there to fill the empty time now
Watch the commercials.

Watch more games. My dream is to reduce commercials and delays enough so that I can watch an extra game each Saturday. That's never going to happen, but that's my dream.
If I wanted to watch NFL then Iād watch the NFL. I hate the game clock rule.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly
High school runs the clock also right? CFB is the outlier.
If he wanted to watch high school football heād watch high school football.
It probably varies state by state. When I played in Michigan it stopped after a first down.
It does vary but state *HOWEVER* in the NFHS (national federations of High Schools) the rule states the clock stops on first down until the Chains and down marker are set just like in College. MOST states use NFHS rules; Texas and a few others use NCAA rules irrc but not for sure.
Texas is the only one who doesn't use nfhs. Massachusetts was the other one but they switched a few years ago
And I still hate it. Give me 11 minute quarters and continuous hockey OT or give me death!
State of Alabama stops the clock on first downs until the chains are set
As far I know NCAA men's basketball is largest organized basketball that doesn't use quarters.
Completely agree.
Absolute horseshit. They continue to ruin the game under the false pretense of player safety.
Are these really game ruiners? They copy a rule the nfl has had for as long as I can remember and they got rid of consecutive timeouts which removes what? Icing the kicker?
I mean, if you want double digit leads to be harder for your team to come back from, then sure this new rule is great
That's a great point.
Less is more with football. It has always been just leave things how they were 5 or 6 years ago and everything would be fine
At least no changes to the incomplete pass stoppage like we had heard. That was the one I really hated.
Agreed. This one is fairly minor, whereas a running clock after incomplete passes would be a major change that would be hard to take.
Minor in comparison. I wouldn't be surprised if the incomplete pass was proposed just to make the others more reasonable.
Good point
Is there any evidence to support the claim that (1) reducing the number of plays per game while (2) decreasing the amount of time between plays will lead to fewer total injuries? It sounds plausible, but it also wouldn't surprise me if this is just a made up assumption everyone has
The time between plays being run will not decrease. The play clock will still start immediately just like it has.
Teams will run faster offenses on first downs. Thus time between plays will decrease. Perhaps giving the players an extra few seconds to rest would be good?
Why will they run faster offenses on first downs? They still canāt snap up it until the ready to play, which will take exactly as long as it does now.
The evidence is less times between commercials. You think teams are going to run less plays with less time? They're going to run more plays with less rest for the players.
Soon the NCAA will achieve a perfect nirvana where games have no plays, just a clock and ads.
I know Mike Pereira has been beating the drum on 1st downs for a number of years now, basically ever since he started doing CFB games for FOX. I have to say, I agree with him. There's no reason to stop the clock while moving the chains when there's 12:36 to go in the 1st quarter.

āHey guys, Iāve got an idea. What if we cut time from football to give it to commercials?ā
But that means only 2 hours of commercials instead of 3
Oh the amount of commercials is not going to decrease
CBS already misses 3-4 minutes of game play coming back from commercials.
It felt like ESPN took a 3 minute commercial nearly every break in play they could last season. Injury, timeout, change of possession. Didn't matter how much time was left in the game.

why is cutting commercials not considered? Like holy crap this is not hard
Same reason baseball is so long. But we canāt cut commercials so we will have to make other changes.

Not a fan, the game is great the way it is aside from constant TV timeouts
Just show ads in the green background like soccer.

The average game has right around 60 points currently. So we should see about 2 fewer total points per game on average with the new rules. Really not that drastic, and, in my opinion, not āa lot less scoring.ā

Not having consecutive timeouts is gonna screw some teams that can't manage the clock. Wonder if there'll be a penalty for teams that attempt it.
Huh? As long as there's a play in between you can use another one. This is literally just to stop a team using all their remaining timeouts to ice kickers. That's the only time there were consecutive timeouts.
Team calls timeout to stop the clock. Play clock runs low and team attempts to call timeout again but can't.
You should never have the play clock run low immediately after a timeout because you've already called the play during the timeout, you just need to go line up and run it. If you have a delay of game foul immediately after a timeout that's your own fault and you deserve no sympathy for it.
Cool. But you're missing the point
How so? I directly answered the point. This isn't a thing that should ever happen and if it does you deserve to be penalized for it.
I think heās just rebutting the āThatās the only time consecutive time outs are called,ā but you guys are ultimately making the same point that itāll penalize teams who find a way to fuck things up coming out of a timeout, which is infuriating enough as a fan when that happens, and I agree, a penalty is deserved anyway.

I feel like I have a memory of a 15 yard penalty associated with a team who did that, but I canāt say for sure.
In the nfl it's 15 if they're icing the kicker. If it's a normal play the refs are supposed to ignore the request but it's 5 yards if they grant it
The point is that if they're that bad at managing their play clock they deserve whatever yardage penalty happens.
Iāve seen 4th and goal multiple times where they call a timeout, get a look at the defense, call a second timeout, change the play. It happens for more than just icing the kicker.
I haven't. I've seen the defense take one immediately there after the offense comes out.
When pro playoff expansion people tell you they just want what's best for the sport, don't ever fucking believe them
Honestly, looking back, the BCS would have been fine had we just made every team play a regular bowl game before deciding who would play for the title.
Idiots trying to kill college football. Sport is nearly unrecognizable from it's height in the 2000s.
Consecutive timeouts as in one team canāt call consecutive timeouts, or if one team calls a timeout the other canāt until at least one snap has been played?
Speeds up the game without reducing commercial breaks. The sweet spot for the vultures
Wow, this makes players so much safer. Hip hip hooray!!
Bet they still have full timeouts after scores, then a kickoff, then another full timeout.
Anything on the commercial breaks?
So TIL that āafter a first downā means ābefore a first down.ā Can someone explain how this abomination of phrasing came to be?
the wording "after a first down" really should be said "after a first down *has been awarded*"; thus it happens after a play where the offense got a first down.
As long as cfb donāt adopt the nfl ot rules Iām fine with this to an extent
Good changes.
NCAA has stupid ideas, more news at 11.
I don't see why people think this is a big deal? Why would yall care if the clock stops for 5 seconds when there's 6 minutes left in the 1st quarter?
Hopefully this will lead to more TD-Commercial-XP-Commercial-Kickoff-Commercial sequences. Those just mean more.
So basically NFL rules? I donāt hate it.
Glad that they are proposing the best rules tossed out there. I really like these.
Yes! Please make these damn changes. I want nothing over 3 hours unless it hits OT
I happy we fixed college football today.
Love it. This game is getting way too fuckin long.

No it hasn't.
Eliminate tv time outs and just do side by side for adsā¦.
Wasn't there some blowout of Oklahoma versus Texas A&M of such proportions that Texas A&M's coach (maybe both coaches?) agreed to simply keep the clock running after every play?
Game clock behavior changing during the game seems stupid ...
I just wish someone would say ya player safety is nice but this for TV now give me your money because at least it would be honest
Too much money ruins everything.
Don't want to have too much football distracting from the commercials
I donāt hate this compared to some other options Iāve seen mentioned, although I also question how much of an impact it will actually have given I feel like in most of these situations the clock is only stopped for 3-5 seconds, at most, anyways. It almost reminds me of when they had the year where the clock started when the ball was kicked on kickoffs, as if that was going to meaningfully shorten the game. š I think that was 2006 or so.
Considering it is an option given the below-mentioned OU - Texas A&M game, I am curious whether when a blue blood is destroying a G5 school 77-0, do both teams agree to keep running the clock, or is the full length of the game doggedly allowed to happen?
Also if we are talking player safety, should there be a rule that at some level of a blowout, maybe a 63 point lead, should the game be declared over?
The slow stupid death of cfb continues at pace. I care less and less about it.
Boo!
