It was brought to my attention by Josh over at the Double-A-Zone that the NCAA will meet this week to discuss some rule changes. The one that is on the forefront is everyone's favorite, the clock rule. Corn Nation puts his two cents on this and I think he speaks for us all when he says that we need to go back to the 2005 rules. SMQ does a great job breaking down on the time savings per network and notes that CBS was actually benefiting from new clock rule by adding in more commercials. Looking at his list from top to bottom we are talking about an average savings of 15 minutes. Is 15 minutes that important to keep these changes? We already saw once this year where Wisconsin took advantage of a loophole, and it is only a matter of time until more loopholes are found and used in bigger games. Also, more networks are going to follow CBS' suit and start scheduling more commercials; making the games as long as they once were. So I hope the NCAA takes this opportunity to realize they made a mistake changing the clock rules and revert them to what they were in 2005.
