Not a fan of this. And also, what’s with all the shortening the game crap? Baseball I can understand; it’s a slow paced sport as it is. But why would I want to shorten something g that I look forward to year round? It’s like implementing changes to shorten sex time. Who wants to have less fun doing something? Got to be money related (extra commercials).

College football has been letting the tail wag the dog vis a vis TV for too long now. The networks should tailor their broadcasts to the game as it is, not the other way around.

It's worth what it's worth. That's what the conferences need to understand.

It's the ONE thing soccer gets right!

Hate how everyone wants to “shorten” baseball when the games greatest attribute is there’s not time. Now we put a guy on second in the 10th. 10 run rule. Pitchers don’t control the pace anymore.

Exactly. But there are people who cry incessantly about the length of games. Especially on sports radio. It's a three month season and people are constantly antsy year round about the new season's kick off, but then they want to shorten the experience. Ridiculous.
