Another change in college football?

Idon’t know who is complaining, but once again we’ll have changes to the rules of college football when hundreds of institutions competing under the NCAA banner start playing for keeps this fall.

It seems the length of college football games is of prime concern to the rule makers, as if thousands of grumpy fans all across America are upset because they might get home too late for dinner.

I’ve covered college football for more than a few decades and I’ve yet to encounter a single fan who wishes the games would be shorter.

I mean, is the NCAA next going to shorten college baseball to seven innings and basketball to 30 minutes instead of 40 to be sure fans get to bed on time?

Maybe the PGA tour, which sponsors the slowest sport known to man, will shorten a round of golf to 14 holes and make tournaments last three rounds instead of four.

Wimbledon should go to one set instead of three-out-of-five and the Indianapolis 500 might want to consider becoming the Indy 250.

A perfect game in bowling should be eight strikes instead of 12 and soccer could save everyone massive amounts of time by simply going to penalty kicks only. The same for ice hockey.

People apparently have better things to do than watch sports.

Nevermind that you drove two hours to get to the stadium, paid $100 for your ticket and 20 bucks for parking, plus another 20 for a hot dog and a drink, you now demand that the game end quickly so you can get back to whatever it was you were doing before college football
