Running Clock in College (any level?)
 
Does anyone know of any time, in any conference/association, at any collegiate level, where a running clock has been instituted as a type of mercy rule? I'm 99.99999999999% sure it is not allowed by all of the NCAA rules I have access to.)

Nope. I have never even heard such a thing suggested.

Peace

Knicks could have used it the other night in the pros!

Of course, not that anyone here watches the pros! ;)

In the Whatsamatta U. vs. Solid State game, the officials went to a running clock one minute into the game. It seems they just wanted to get out early to meet some triplets in the locker room.

Meds please.

Huh - I've seen lots of cyclists (after all, I live in Oregon, the bicycle capitol of the universe) and I've never noticed that the wheels turn. I always thought the wheels were stationary and my eyes were spinning.

25 point game, whistle with 0.3 on the clock, the switch might be a bit sticky.
