NCAA football rules proposal: outlaw ties

Related Topics: tie, Marcus Smart, extra time, Mr. Big

Ending regulation in an NCAA football game with a tie score makes no one particularly happy. The players must extend themselves for who knows how many more minutes of overtime, the coaches must jiggle and juggle lineups due to injury and then prepare for the next game with a battered team, and sports writers miss deadlines.

Even the fans are like, “What? There’s more?”

That’s why they call it “forcing overtime”, not “enjoying overtime,” and it’s time to pass the “No ties” rule.

Ties are for losers

It’s not that hard.
