Summary
Why would college football want to shorten its games? Andy and Ari detail the reasons behind the potential rule changes that would condense the action on the field. With NIL, the 12-team CFP, and now this possible time-saving move all happening so quick, is it possible that the sport is changing too much? Will we, as fans, eventually miss out on what makes this sport so quirky and special to us? Plus, Marcus Freeman's smooth response to a question about the Andy Ludwig situation.
