Why can't the games flow similar to the NFL?
Watching Georgia Ole Miss yesterday was like sitting down to view a bunch of commercials with a little bit of football sprinkled in.
2:30 game just seems to have an ungodly amount of commercial breaks.
And why do they have to be so damn long?
NFL doesn't do that.
I wish the coaches would start bitching about. The commercials can completely flip the momentum of a game.

NFL cares more because they want games ending on time so people can watch the next one. College football doesn’t seem to care

It's almost becoming unwatchable. Just no flow.
Breaks so long its almost like mini half-times

shite, that game wrapped 45 minutes early. All the running down Golden's throat. They had 45 extra minutes of studio to fill.

LSU game went quick too so I think that's why our game had a plethora of commercials.
It was miserable
It is not so much the amount of breaks, its just that some of them last 5 minutes of real time.

It was the same with CBS; it will not change.

NFL doesn't do that.
College football, on the other hand, only has a handful of games each week that carry the entire weight of ESPN’s investment. So, they’ve gotta stretch those games out to make it worthwhile.

money talks and TV timeouts = $$$ so don't hold your breath waiting for it to change; if anything it'll get worse

At one point I remember UGA scoring, go to commercial break for 5 minutes, come back for kickoff, then another 5 minute commercial break. But I also remember a score where there was no commercial break, straight to kickoff, and straight into the next possession.

The first half of the bama game took two hours. Before the pick 6 I was ready for bed. But that fired me up lol

The ABC production is an abortion, front to back.
They have so many commercials, that you can’t even flow from the commercials back to the game.
The announcers are arse as well.

I did some rough calculations and figured that from start to finish, commercials took up 35 to 40 percent of the total time. I know they paid a lot for the SEC games, but they're killing the goose that laid the golden egg

Nothing pisses me off more than
Commercial break
Kickoff for touchback

The combination of the relentless commercials and listening to Joe Tess call the game makes it hard to enjoy.

I wish Sankey could have made it work with CBS
CBS absolutely murders ABC in all things TV game production
