Those 7+OT thrillers were awesome for viewership. Does anyone remember that one with Kentucky (Lorenzen RIP) versus I think Arkansas? Some of the most fun I’ve had watching a game between two teams I don’t care about. Anyway, I get the player safety concerns, but those games were great to watch.

If it's all about player safety and shorter games, why don't we start the game at OT? A lot fewer plays and way shorter game!

What about fan safety? Has anyone done a study on how many fans are injured each year traveling to & from games or while at the stadium? Maybe for thier own safety, fans should be banned (band?) from the stadium. Wait...........aren't we doing that right now?! Just think how many injuries, maybe even deaths, have been avoided due to covid!

This is as unnecessary as the new extra innings rule in MLB.

 

[Ursa Major]

Don’t fix what isn’t broken.
