They stopped doing that for the whole game years ago so we could keep games under 3-1/2 hours AND get more commercials.
Refs already know how to follow the script - what more could Sankey want?
Full-time refs, microchipped balls, and additional cameras could all help.
According to chatgpt, the cost for full time refs is about $15 mil/yr - with that kind of investment, whats the ROI? Controversy hasn't driven way customers yet.

You’d rather mix it up with Tulane and Sewanee fans?

I met with the FSU AD 12 years ago while doing an athletics master plan design study for them - at the time LSU had massive debt - and I remember the AD's (or facilities director's) words at the time "we need to be careful we don't end up in their situation."
Logical fallacy. Next.

According to fall camp quotes from players, the new staff demands practice and the Freeze staff *asked* players to show up.
UF is not in Lake City. FSU is not in Bonifay.

Learning alot about blue bloods - where is Army as well?
Bo shared the backfield with Marcus Allen, one of the all time NFL greats. Pretty impressive to show up late and still steal carries from a 6-time Pro Bowler. Allen was also a league MVP, Super Bowl MVP, and Rookie of the Year.
Ya'll can do a deep dive on stats and situational carries, but pro football was just a hobby for Bo.

"It was the 1989 Sugar Bowl, played January 2, 1989, after the 1988 season: Florida State vs. Auburn.
A few days before the game, Sanders was arrested on Christmas Eve after an incident in a Fort Myers gift shop. Reports said he was charged with battery on a police officer and disorderly conduct. Bobby Bowden considered discipline but ultimately let him play."

If a player graduates before transferring they ought to be able to claim them....Jalen Hurts and Bo Nix.
Roof knew how to use Nick Fairley.

re: NCAA Lied about NIL. College Sports are More Popular Than Ever

For a time, Nickelback was popular. Don't confuse the dumbing down of a product for mass appeal, with quality. All art and entertainment (which is what sports are) follows a bell curve-like course.
1. Unique/Inventive, but small following.
2. Then product becomes stylized for slightly wider appeal. People take notice and are lured in.
3. Then product is mass produced for largest audience based on focus groups and revenue generation resulting in something that is bland, characterless, flimsy.
4. Fatigue sets in, the base is uninterested and quits engaging. Why are we even doing this?
We had Nirvana, but over time they began selling us Nickelback.

Funny. OM is, and always will be, a stepping stone.
There’s still time.
