I liked the game better 35 years ago.
35 years ago, we didn't have 100 or so games to choose from every weekend. Your team was on like 3 times a year plus a bowl, so it felt more special when you got to see them on the TV. More games felt like big games, simply because they were on the network that week.

Did you really think there was any other purpose than to squeeze in more commercials?

Easy solution for all of this - stop watching. As soon as people stop watching, everything will change.
I think it’s inevitable that ratings start to fall as the sport becomes more regional thanks to greed. The southeast and big 10 areas will still watch but huge swaths of the country will be even less interested than they already are.

CFB destroying conferences, neutral site games, rivalries being discarded, mimicking NFL rules and applying them horribly like targeting, NIL/And just greed in general at the player, coach, university level...making everyone a mercenary kind of destroys what CFB meant to me and why I loved it
Well said.

Those football team only barber shops in the locker rooms aren't going to pay for themselves!

"This new rule, it’s crazy," Chip Kelly said during his interview before running off the field for halftime. "We had four drives in the first half. This game goes fast. Hope you guys are selling a lot of commercials."
Less possessions, more commercials, less comebacks...
Less excitement.
Better not fall behind a few touchdowns in the first half, game over.
Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham also voiced his opinion on the matter, telling reporters after their 24-11 win over Florida that there "wasn’t a lot of snaps."
"I guess if they were trying to tone that down, they accomplished their objective," Whittingham said. "Seemed like they made up for it with more commercials. There were commercials every two minutes. I don’t know what that’s all about. I guess we’ve got to pay the bills."
