Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott addressed the elephant in the room during Wednesday’s Pac-12 Football Media Day in Hollywood, Calif.
The “elephant” for Scott revolves around the elongated gridiron contests that have become rampant across the college football world.
In 2016, the average college football game time was 3 hours and 24 minutes, the longest in the sport’s history.
Scott told reporters that the conference was well aware that fans want shorter games, and also addressed the late game times that are common in the Pac-12.
“A final area in which we're showing collective leadership is around the issue of the length of football games,” Scott said.
