Rules changes on the table for April 20

[bonarae]

Many of these rule change proposals pertain to the timing and break reduction in games...

So if you're about to kick a FG at the end of the quarter, can the defense jump offside and thus force you to kick into the wind at the start of the next quarter instead of with it?

That's a really good point - although more specifics were not listed. It wouldn't take long for someone on either side of the ball to take advantage of this...

So nothing about the excessively long TV timeouts or plays under review conducted at glacial speed?

[kdinva]

Just about every time a team makes a first down with ball inbounds, white hat waives hands over his head, then rewinds the clock after only five or six seconds. Nothing wrong with that, IMO. It's the length of time taken for reviews. And, every TV time out after the required three, only 60 seconds, not 120.

NC Central doesn't need a field to warm up. I work security at BoA and watched him last year drill the upright standing on the sideline of the back of the endzone while the Bands were on the field. He connected 9 of 10 missing one by inches. Kid was spot on

Well, the clock not stopping at first down till the chains are set seems like a crazy change for me.

These silly changes will save about 6 or 7 minutes, at most. Anyone want to take a guess as to whether we will see 6 or 7 more minutes of media time? No guessing needed. This is transparent as hell. But we will see how it shakes out. Which is funny since people at home will just put on mute or flip channels and people at the game will just fume at the longer breaks or head to the piss wall.

How much is ad time per minute???? :D

It's absurd why college time rules are part of distancing the college game further than the NFL. xeyebrowx

NCAA's take... also applies to the FCS playing at D-II stadiums...
