College football: Rule changes aimed at shortening games to be discussed by NCAA, per report (247sports.com)
Dodd reported that the NCAA will look into treating incomplete passes the same as runs out of bounds, and no longer stopping the clock after each first down.Please don't start the clock after an incomplete pass, that's just ridiculous. I'm iffy on doing away with stopping clock after each first down.“Beginning in 2008, the clock started after runs and fumbles out of bounds when the referee signaled ‘ready for play,’” Dodd wrote. “Previously, the clock started on the snap after such plays. The committee is considering treating incomplete passes the same way. The rule would be in effect until late in the half or game, perhaps the last 2-5 minutes, according to Shaw.”
