The final two minutes of Ohio State and Michigan State took 14 minutes to play. Is there anything that can be done to shorten college basketball and Football games?
14 for 2

- Start date
Not really in basketball but in football at least college they could keep the clock running after 1st downs.
Baseball is the longest. 4 hr games happen weekly 5-6 hr games a few times a yr.
That said, I love baseball.

Surprised a UK wasn't following, seems to always happen
I think the main thing would be to remove the strategy of fouling and praying they miss. No one wants to watch a free throw shooting contest and its a lame strategy anyway. Call anything intentional as an intentional foul and award the team two shots and the ball. The game should be decided before the last few minutes anyway.
I think one is too few, but I do agree that if a coach calls a time out it should count for a TV timeout, I'm sure there would be a way to make that work.
I don't think there's much you can do without fundamentally changing the game, it doesn't really bother me
plus occasionally you get that thing from a couple weeks ago where a team came back from 14 down in like 70 seconds

I went to the Vandy vs UT game last night. Vandy called time out at 8:07. 11 seconds later a dead ball meant the under 8 time out. I thought they had passed a rule to stop that nonsense.
I would think someone on the staff is paying attention to this and let the coach know to save his timeout
0% chance anything regresses back to radio. Also would it work? UK just charged 160$ for lower level tickets vs Auburn. Go back to Radio you're probably looking at 750$ a seat vs anyone in the top 20
How about 3 per game, total. No resetting after Halftime.
Depends on when it happened. If it was the first called timeout of the second half, that automatically becomes a media.
If it happened any other time during the game, a team called timeout within 30 seconds of the scheduled media timeout (i.e. 16:30, 12:30, 8:30, 4:30) becomes the media timeout.
They will make it even longer if they switch to quarters. I hate the idea and totally disagree with Bilas on this.
Money from commercials during timeouts is the only way that so may games are on TV.
