Also I wish college football (and the NFL) would adopt the AAF’s onside kick replacement. The onside kick has been neutered to the point where it’s nearly impossible to convert.
I'd be all over that.The AAF got several things right, the onside kick replacement being one of them. I'd love it if we brought over their 2 point conversion rules, shorter play clock and lack of kick offs too. It just made for a much quicker game.
Right now the college game takes up to seven minutes for the next offensive play after a team scores a touchdown. Time management after a TD goes like this:
Team celebrates for 10-20 seconds before refs spot the ball for the XP attempt.
Up to 40 second delay while field goal unit jogs on the field. XP kicked.
Two minute TV time out.
Kickoff up to 40 seconds after the TV timeout is over.
Kickoff and return/touchback happen.
Two minute TV timeout.
Up to 40 seconds before the first play.
In the AAFL A team scores a TD, from the moment the whistle blows its 35 seconds before the two point conversion must be attempted.
Two minute break after the attempt.
35 seconds until the next offensive play.
You've gone from a 7 minute break to a two minute ten second break between meaningful plays. Over the course of a game it's a big difference.
