Then elighten me.

as if other aspects of player safety are a nonissue
Do me this favor...don't suggest i'm being ignorant then propose to tell me what i think.

you're flat out wrong to dismiss things like the length of the game
i've never dismissed it. In fact if you're of the mind of shortening the game then shorten the game, don't do running clocks etc. I've always felt this way, about all sports too.

It's absolutely on the table, whether you think it's a weak argument or not.
Simply put, Nick saban is not attacking the HUNH because of safety. I can't say it any other way than that. You want to call me naive then stick to your guns on this one...go for it. Wouldn't be the first time someones been a hypocrite on this board.

I've explained it already in nearly all of my posts, and you keep saying "those lawsuits are about concussions" which isn't true.
I understand that nothing I say will convince you as an auburn superfan that saban is making a reasonable argument here, and because I don't know or care about his true motives, I won't try to. I'm just explaining that regardless of Nick Saban and his motives, the idea that a philosophy of which the stated objective is to increase the number of plays per game, and therefore the number of collisions per game, might be restricted in some way in the future is not unreasonable given the current state of affairs. For this reason, what saban is saying is not really that unreasonable, regardless of why you, an auburn fan, think he is saying it. That is my only point.
