ABC Viewers Lash out Over Excessive Amount of Commercials
College football made a big change for the 2023 season, which has made fans and coaches upset. The NCAA introduced the new clock rule to help shorten the game. In previous years, the clock would stop momentarily after first downs on the college level. This year, a running clock has been introduced, making college football similar to the NFL. The only time the clock stops after the first downs is inside of two minutes left in the half.
After Week 0 and Week 1 of the college football season, coaches and fans are speaking out against the new clock rule. UCLA head coach Chip Kelly said, “But this new rule is, um, it’s crazy. We had four drives in the first half. This game goes fast. Hope you guys are selling a lot of commercials.”
One Reddit user discovered that the new clock rule has led to more commercials. The person watched the LSU vs. Florida State game that aired on ABC Sunday night and discovered there were 131 ads played during the broadcast of the game for a total of 55 minutes. The duration of the game under two and a half hours. Here’s a look at fans sounding off on ABC for airing too many commercials during the game.

One person said: “So basically the rules changes to speed up the game just allowed the networks to run more advertising!”

Not A ‘Bachelor’ Fan
The worst thing about watching a great game, is @abc the stupid commercials. Who cares about geriatric bachelors!

ABC’s Plan
We just had 3 commercial breaks in 3 plays of the FSU-LSU game.
With the clock rules shortening the game, it seems clear ABC is determined to fit the same number of commercials in fewer plays.

It was Coming
We ALL knew the clock changes were made to allow the networks to air more commercials – it was NEVER about the kids or the game. College football became a whore decades ago and is now so dependent on the money it’s leaders can’t/won’t say no to anything the networks want. Sad.

One fan responded: “I just think there’s a sweet spot that can serve all parties interests. This model that TV companies are using isn’t servicing it audience with growth as a goal. It looks more like harvesting, and holding a position as a goal is no way to move forward.”

Problem With Other Sports
<
p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>So this has been the complaint for a long time around golf broadcasts. You may see 3-4 shots before 4 minutes of commercials. I have a feeling that networks will be the death of sports.
That’s the benefit of soccer. 45 minutes straight of play
— Nick Cristea (@UCgolferNick) September 4, 2023
Another person added: “Same with MLB since the mandatory time between innings was introduced. Commercials are only gonna be 2:15-2:30 depending on if the broadcast is regional or national.”
