[QUOTE="MAcFroggy, post: 2768032, member: 70009"] Fox has more ads for college football games than espn. Fox even does the dreaded TD-commercial-kickoff-commercial. They have done away with it in the NFL because the league decided fans hated it so much. However, they still do it for college games sometimes. College football really does need to go to the NFL challenge rules (or similar). There are SO many unnecessary reviews. A player gains one yard, but his knee actually went to with a gain of 0. There is a Three minute review process for No reason. If the coach isn’t willing to challenge then it is probably okay to let it slide. I have said this many time, but reviews are the single worst part of college football for a casual fan. They need a better process. In this day and age why does the ref need to run 60 yards across the field to watch some little screen or listen to some special headset? They already have headsets to communicate with each other on the field. Add in the replay officials to that system and allow for much a more seamless process. This would allow officials to be ready if the play is confirmed. They can set the ball and blow the ready to play the whistle. If it is reversed or changed, they can move the ball to the correct location (like they would set the ball after any play) and blow this whistle. There is so much wasted time and movement on every review. [/QUOTE]
