There doesn't seem to be a rational reason for the time-clock rule changes.

There isn't.

Although I do kinda like the first down tweak to the rule, as the ready to play signal generally takes 10-15 seconds to get ready for, so they still have time to get a player in and out.

But the kickoff rule is absolutely STUPID.

It won't be around next year.

I don't get it. Football has enough rules as it is. Why make more? (Although now that I think about it, Congress does the same thing).

It's for Television... to fit the game into a nice, neat 3-hour time slot.

There doesn't seem to be a rational reason for the time-clock rule changes.

College football games on ESPN (and other nets) were taking 4 hours or more. That's way too long.
