NCAA Football Rules Changes for 2008

By Vince Mullins | April 14, 2008

fcb_ref_clip NCAA Football Rules Changes for 2008Like turning down a drunken advance from Cindy Crawford because of that mole, the NCAA again dismisses the already beautiful game in a quest for unattainable perfection.

Was anyone complaining that the games are too long?

Methinks only people in the stands when CBS or FOX broadcasts since those games tend to be about ten minutes longer than others.

Here is a quick recap of the rule changes:

Clock will still stop after a first down, so perhaps the motivation is not to make the game shorter because changing this rule to mirror the NFL would have the most effect.

My take? I do not expect much of an effect, certainly not as much as the NCAA implemented in 2006. But as the Old Ball Coach says in the AJC article below, the no-huddle teams should have an advantage. So get ready Big Ten because Michigan, Northwestern Indiana, Illinois and Purdue will be snapping the ball with 30 seconds on the play clock!
