How pathetic is the rule that the clock restarts after a false start/hold?

It is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. All a team has to do is be up in the 4th quarter with the ball. They can false start, run 40 seconds off the clock, false start, run another 40 seconds.
No coaches do it because it would be bush league or they are too stupid to figure it out, but still...... how can a rule be that unfathomably bad? What a screw up by the NCAA.

I have always thought this as well, but didn't know if that is actually the rule or if something happens to make the clock stop after a second one or not

I'd be interested to see that as well. Obviously, that would prevent a team from just being able to get a 3-0 lead in the first quarter and run the clock out. However, it would still be terrible. Teams could false start before every play and each drive/series/play would run twice as much clock. So a team getting the ball with the lead with 7 minutes left could run out the clock with just one first down

Yes it's dumb. Coaches don't know the rules though, so that's why you don't see it. It should be treated the same as a delay of game penalty, at least under 2 minutes anyway.

2 minutes is way too short. The whole 4th quarter.

This has always pissed me off as well. You get rewarded for committing a penalty.

I severely doubt that's the case

You would hope, but with the amount of rules there are, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an over sight somewhere. Happens in law all the time.

I thought the runoff is only if your team is behind with the clock running under 2 min ... specifically for this reason

I believe the officials have the authority to stop the clock if they deem the foul to be intentionally manipulative.

I think this is the case, but they should apply it more. It should not matter what they think the team is trying to do. They should not ever be able to gain an advantage on a penalty. Period.
Saints got screwed on this last year vs Carolina. Something like 4 false starts from Carolina in the 4th quarter.
