The funny thing is that when the pace of play in football is slow (boring) games go faster. When the pace is high (exciting) the game goes slower. Baseball is boring because nothing happens over 3 hours 15 minutes. I find that college basketball has become boring as nothing happens over 2 hours 15 minutes (pace and scores are way down yet somehow we have added 15 minutes the last few years to the college game). In addition football has always been seen as an all day affair. And in other parts of the country it is a several day affair.

I understand the time commitment angle but that is part of football. Plus you only get to see your team play so many times a year. If the game is boring (Rhode Island) I want it to end quickly. If the game is fun (BC 2 years ago), I never want the game to end.

Being a baseball fan you are looking at a 19.5 hour commitment for 27 weeks (either at the game or watching on TV). Being a college basketball fan a 4.5 hour commitment for 15 weeks. College football takes a 3.5 hour commitment for 12 weeks. If you are not missing any of the action, college football is a lot less time consuming.
