That’s still a lot of commercials. Basically same commercial time with less actual football action time and less total real time for games is giving the unchanged commercial times more weight. The perception of more commercials is actually making people see that commercials are adding 45 minutes or more to games in a sport which already has more time between action/plays and more game clock running outside of those action/plays than many other timed sports. Over twice as much time in guaranteed commercials as the actual time of all live plays combined.
Even after a score in basketball there is action happening with defending and trying to get open. I don’t get why clock is not stopped (but don’t get offsides either), but towards end of soccer matches ref holds up a card with added time to make up for some lost time. It’s been a while but hockey seemed to keep action flowing with players changes happening on the fly and so on.
Problem was there, but they just made it more obvious with this change not less like they were hoping.

That is a fair point and seems to be legit based on the data in that Athletic article.

So something else I read in The Athletic (a companion article to the one I posted above) - apparently the clock changes weren’t really driven by TV windows, at least according to conference commissioners.
Supposedly the real purpose of the clock changes was actually to reduce the number of plays in each game. I guess one of the things people have used to oppose the 12-team playoff is the fact that teams will be playing more games. If you remove 6-7 plays per game over the course of a 12-game regular season, that’s 72-84 less plays on each side of the ball. Which basically allows the NCAA to sidestep any player safety criticism.
Maybe this is common knowledge, but it was news to me. I was under the impression that this was all about fitting games into TV windows.
