I always thought it made college football more entertaining then the pros. The only thing I can think of they want games to have less players and less chance of injury.

If it can bring a 4 hour game down to 3.75 hours I'm all for it.  But when you leave at halftime it really doesn't matter all that much.

People today have zero attention spans. We want everything to be quicker. Do we not go to baseball games and football games to enjoy them? I have absolutely zero desire for my college football games to go faster. Hey, I’m really enjoying myself. Let’s speed this up and get it over with??

Ok, shockingly I can't remember exactly how this worked. When a first down was made, was the clock stopped and then restarted with the beginning of the next play ..... or clock stopped and restarted when the official set the ball down and motioned to restart?

What if you never make it to the seat and Joey Knight says our ticket sales are not accurate. Would cutting 10 to 30 minutes out of a game make any difference?

I never understood the idea of speeding up a game (especially baseball).  If you just want to see meaningless action, watch the NBA.  If you don't have time for a football game, no one is making you stay.  Leave.  I never once thought the experience of the game was "too long".  And I was in South Bend for the victory (enjoying every minute)!
