College football wants to shorten games without addressing the actual problems

Earlier this week, the powers that be in college football floated some changes to the rules designed to shorten the length of games, and... let’s just say that they’re looking in the wrong place, but then that’s to be expected when television basically runs the sport.

CFB Leaders are proposing four rule changes:

1) Prohibiting consecutive timeouts
2) No untimed down at end of 1Q/3Q
3) Clock runs after 1st downs except inside of 2 mins in a half
4) Clocks runs on incompletions once ball is spotted

How we feeling about these changes?
