Timing Changes - NCAA

mcrowder · #1 (**permalink**) Thu Jul 20, 2006, 04:21pm

I see numerous references to supposed timing changes in NCAA rules for this year. Since I've spent my recent time here on the baseball and softball sites and am just starting to get back into football (and since we have not had our first clinics yet for football), can someone eludicate me on what the changes may be or what is being discussed/edited right now?

Thanks!

In a nut shell, Clock will start on ready after change of possession.

It's good to see they're speeding up the game. Way too many 4 to 4 1/2 hours games.

I'd rather the game be sped up by limiting the number of commercials. We all know that's not going to happen.

TV usually takes a commercial break after the first punt of each quarter. Will that now be eliminated with the whistle going on the ready after a punt?

I don't think so. You'll just come back from the break. Get the go ahead from the red hat and then wind it instead of the regular chop in.

according to Dr Adams, it is not on a COP but after the clock was stopped to award B a first down......just a very minor picky point LOL

If they wanted to speed up the game, just keep the clock rolling on first downs by A.

You wouldn't have to change any other rules or make any other exceptions and you'd shave far more real time off a game than will happen with this new convoluted rule.

I can't wait to hear Musberger and Danielson this year the first time were up against the end of the 2nd or 4th quarters and the clock runs after B takes over when the previous play was an incomplete pass by A or a run out of bounds by either team -

Musberger - "Why is the clock running???!!! None of the officials can see it!!! It was an incomplete pass on 4th down!!!! It should start on the snap!!! Ohio State was cheated out of 24 seconds!!!!!!"

Danielson - "That's really poor officiating! These guys have really messed up!!"

Here's some examples of the new rule:

Hopefully, Brent's a subscriber to Rom Gilbert this year.
