Well most Vol fans know about the long games going over into ours on TV -- should not be a hard fix --if its a game already decided CUT OUT
Sounds like a good plan, but people would miss out on great comebacks. As an example look at a couple of years ago when the game USCe was "over" but Dobbs led that misaculous comeback down at Scar. Statistically the game was over, and we were on the losing side of it, but the final score went our way.

They need to adopt the NFL system and let the coaches have two challenges. Inside the final two minutes, and in OT, the challenge comes from the booth. The current system drags the game down so much it's infuriating.
I have no problem with the current rule in theory. However when they stop play to review a call that was obviously right to start with it's maddening.
Commercial break for every single 'injury' in that app state game was almost the death of me. I swear app state looked like they were on the streets of fallujah from all the sniper fire they were taking.
Changing the rules to shorten the game is the tale wagging the dog. The real reason for a long game is ad revenue, and as long as $$$ is being made, it'll never get fixed, and perhaps only get longer.
If a player creates an injury timeout, they must sit out the rest of that possession. I noticed that many of those Appy players would just sit out one play and that is bull s***. This has become a strategy to defend against the fast paced offense.
But then I couldn't participate in the game day thread. Then again that might be a good thing.Why hasn't anyone suggested less commercials? There was a era - after television, but before every game was broadcast, and (maybe) before pay for view.
A game that wasn't televised had a really good flow to it. Only the coaches calling the timeouts. (my kids will never experience this- and that is sad).

My solution is to DVR and let the game get going about for about an hour, and then start watching it. Speed through the ads and most of halftime. By the middle of the 4th quarter, you are about caught up. Turn the phone off so the text messages don't spoil it.
