Part of the reason you get more commercial break is due to more scoring plays. Also there are far more passing plate in college football now than decades ago which means more incomplete passes and stopped clocks.I may be misremembering, but it seems to me that back in the old days commercials were aired only when there was a natural break in the action. Games were not delayed because of TV, and sometimes the ball got snapped before the commercials ended. There was no such thing as a TV time out.
I understand that they increase revenue, but they're just too many and long. There's a sweet spot there, but it's been exceeded IMO. Nut don't hold your breath for that to get fixed.
