College Football Commissioners Considering Four Changes to Shorten Games

College football conducted a field study last season to ascertain the impact of the proposed changes. A running clock after a first down would eliminate about seven to nine plays per game. A running clock after an incomplete pass could eliminate more than twice that number.

Oh, cool. So only 12 - 15 weekends a year to enjoy watching my team, and now they want to shorten each of those games by around 30 plays? In the name of safety?!?

Essentially they’re saying, “this game is unsafe so we’re going to ensure the players play less of it.”

Un-fricking real.
