College football’s three new clock rules for 2023 and how they’ll change your Saturdays

[MNVCGUY]

Interesting but not sure the person tweeting this can say with any sort of certainty that those difference are solely attributed to the new clock rules after just one weekend of games. Need multiple weeks to really get a feel for what if any change running the clock on first down as opposed to stopping it till the ball is spotted will have.

I’ll say it every time this topic comes up.

They have reduced the football part to better fit continued expansion of the advertisements part.

Well, if you ask me, I hate the new clock rules.

I'd like to see a comparison of the overall time used for media timeouts per game

Nobody complained games were too long in D3 or D2.

Nobody complained games were too long in D1 either… until…

The guy in the red hat appeared and TV timeouts exploded the length of games and lowered the fun level of attending games in person.

To do this under the guise of “player safety” makes this even more ridiculous.

This is a simple trade. Advertisement minutes have replaced football minutes.

Yup. I thought it was noticeable at the stadium too. So many TV timeouts.

I swear that the new rules led to significant increases in TV time outs…. More TV delays than actual game / playing time. Huge detriment to the in-person game experience.
