I really hate the new running clock rule after first downs

2It's definitely noticeable. They are not shortening game length; they're just making more ad time. Why reduce the game, which is one of America's favorite pastimes?

TV comes first. What TV wants TV gets.
I predict two minute warnings are on the horizon.

I can only imagine how much worse the in stadium experience is now if it’s noticeably worse at home.

4 plays a half, per team. It's around 16-20 plays a game
No way

The athletic had a big article last week about how the number of breaks and the lengths of them aren’t any different, like it was a big gotcha. They failed to mention that fewer plays, with the same amount of commercial time, still means you’re getting less football and more commercials on a per broadcast basis.

on 9/24/23 at 12:35 pm to MOTI haven’t seen any stats on length of games this year compared to last year. The networks still have games scheduled in 3 hr increments, sometimes 3.5 hrs which is a complete joke with all the commercials.

Florida State game was noticeably worse.
National coordinator of officials Steve Shaw said this week that the rules were changed with three goals in mind.
“No. 1 is to keep the game moving, the pace of play,” Shaw said. “No. 2 is to modestly take out plays in the game. In FBS, we averaged 178 plays per game last year. If you look at the NFL, they averaged 151 plays per game — so, that’s a pretty significant difference. There is not a target goal but just the idea that we wanted to modestly reduce the number of plays per game. The commissioners support that as well. And finally, we want our clock mechanics to be exactly the same between every official.”
Athletic article. I misspoke... it's actually more like 20+ a game, so 5+ per team per half.
