WI and MN didn't change the bonus rule, but did go to 36 minutes in recent years. I'd be willing to bet what you pointed out was part of that calculus. Plus....as both a player and fan, 32 minutes goes by way too fast. You can barely get to and from the concession stand without missing a third of the game. I like 36 minutes a lot.

I'm not the PC police, but you're lucky there aren't too many female officials on this forum. That's a provocative thing to say.
