New NCAA Proposal to Shorten Halftimes

[SemperFiBlue]

Very interesting. I obviously don't see this happening, but stranger things have come about. A shortening of halftime could force more college marching bands to play their traditional halftime shows at the beginning or end of a college football game or they could elect to play a 5 and a half minute show as a opposed to the original 8-minute show.

That is so wrong... Surely it won't happen!

From what I have heard since the story first broke I believe the NCAA approved legislation allowing schools to either lengthen or shorten halftimes at the discretion of the school.

Now that's silly. I like it at the length it is now, but if they're going to change it, I'd rather see them make it shorter (I know, please forgive me if you can) than to let the length be up to the school. Whatever it is, make it uniform; don't leave it up to the school.

Hmmm that's great. (sarcasm) I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I know you were being sarcastic, but come on here. That is comparing two completely different elements. One has an effect on the outcome, one affects half-time for five minutes. I think it should be standard, and I won't really lose any sleep if they cut it. The bands will just have to shorten their shows, no big deal.

mmmmmmmm NO! there is no way that we are going to shorten our shows. if this was to happen we would probbly have apoint in our competition show that we cut off and leave the field. our shouws are already short. anyshorter and there is no point in doing it at all for football games.

Maybe you wouldn't want it to be shorter, but there would be a point in doing it.

why would you want it shorter??? does the small break not give something to the players too? i thought they kind of used it as a small break and a way for the coaches to be able to talk to the players. whatever i seriously dont think my principal will mess with half time.
