College clock rules

[jimpiano]

I am wondering what college football officials think about the 2006 college rules that mandated clock starts on when the ball is kicked on a kickoff, and starting the game clock after change of possession when the ball was ready for play.

As a fan I thought the rule changes were consistent with what football is all about and did speed up the games.

It appears coaches will force a return to the old rules, for obvious reasons.


My overall concern is that the games will not be permitted to go past four hours and some changes to affect that will be made. If not the 2006 rules, then what?
