No shite. ESPN is a business and last I checked business' like to make money. College football with the current BCS system makes them alot money.
They can care less if LSU or Old Piss is no top its all about $$$$.

This puts more power in the hands of the Refs, to make even worse decisions.

I like this post. ALOT

How so? They will blow the whistle when a player step out of bounds just like they've always done. The game clock will start when the play clock starts. I don't get your point.
Most fans are focusing on this change, but the big change is the 40 second play clock, IMO. The play clock will start as soon as the play is whistled over. No more waiting for the old, fat officials to mark the ball ready for play. We'll see some delay of games and timeouts early in the season until players and coaches adjust to this new rule.

This thread makes me laugh. 
Two posts about the actual clock rules that will have very little effect over the actual time lost.

So you don't think it will affect the strategy of the game? What advantage would it be for a team with the ball leading by 2 scores not to run clock.
Posted on 7/25/08 at 10:57 am to Rockerbraves
Yes, it will alter strategy. The game will have fewer plays and it will be more difficult for teams to come from large deficits in the 4th quarter. But the rule won't apply the last two minutes of each half.

It's less about the time lost (which the networks care about only in terms of seconds that they can replace with ads) than about the strategic weapon that getting out of bounds to try to conserve time and plan the next sequence of plays gives to a team trying to come back. Of course, based on OSU's time-management skills evident in the 4th quarter of the BCS Championship Game, it is possible that the Buckeye faithful don't think this is all that important.

Maybe those same rule changing people should consider adopting the 7 play rule and just getting rid of the old clock in the last 2 minutes?

I love this change.

Winner. TV timeouts after every punt kill game momentum.

College football is the ONLY, ONLY sport where people are waiting around for it to start. It should lasy as long as possible.

That's false. It stops, just restarts when the ball is ready for play, instead of the snap (like what happens after a first down).
With under two minutes left in the half, when someone goes OB, clock doesn't start again until the snap.

Not really, it took about 15 seconds already after the play ended for the ball to be spotted, so there's virtually no difference.

B10 games can be played within the time limits. They pretty much run on schedule. The SEC is another story though......

You are dead wrong. Refs take their time starting the play clock to allow for substitutions. Also, on plays of 20+ yards, it took much longer than 15 seconds to mark the ball ready for play.
They wouldn't make this rule change if it didn't help shorten the game. That is the intent.
Posted on 7/25/08 at 3:58 pm to JustSmokin
Or because they want to be similar to the NFL.
Count to 15, it takes longer than you think.

Why do you think the NFL changed the rule years ago?
