What has happened all the college football traditions?

[Alphalion75]

Has anyone else noticed that the current college football broadcasts on ESPN, Fox, CBS etc. don't show the great college traditions anymore. Like when was the last time they showed the Ohio State Band doing script Ohio or show the Boomer Sooner coming onto the field or Florida State's Osceola planting his flaming spear at mid field or Ralphie the Buffalo runs onto the field or the largest bass drum whirled around as the Purdue Band performs. Instead, we get analyst after analyst giving us their spin on the game and fabricated stories and antics. College football is not like the NFL. It thrives on its great traditions and celebrations. I hope the networks bring them back at some point.

I saw script O Saturday. They are too busy hyping pushing other projects on the channel.

Perhaps because it really isn't college football anymore.

What are you talking about? We saw a tradition hold up on Saturday -- Franklin not being able to win a big game.

Traditions cut into the number of commercials you can sell.

As does all the mindless blabber from the panelists. I would prefer less Lee Corso and McAffee and more college traditions.

It turns out, the matter of how many ads a network can run during a game is determined well ahead of time, is extremely precise, is consistent throughout the season and is dictated by the conference administering the game.

The Athletic obtained documents outlining commercial formats for all SEC and Big 12 games and certain Big Ten games. They vary slightly from conference to conference, and even between each conference’s network partner, but they look fairly similar. They’re either “3-4-3-4” — three breaks in the first and third quarters, four in the second and fourth quarters — or “4-4-4-4,” plus breaks at the end of the first and third quarters.----Stewart Mandel.

While I agree with you, they did show the Gophers hoisting Floyd of Rosedale on Saturday.

Sorry. As you know, Hawkeye tears are delicious!
