The NCAA rules prohibit the official game clock from showing fractions of a second. “The game clock shall not display tenths of seconds”

The rules do allow the game officials to use the scoreboard clock as the official clock, which I had assumed they’d been doing for years. It’s not soccer, you know? Billion dollar broadcast deals yet they dont have money to have a standardized public game clock?

- there are cell phone videos from the stands that show 0:01 on the stadium clock as it touches the player - By DoctorD September 7, 2026 at 08:27:31 AM
  - I was thinking someone must have one or all 22. Pretty frustrating that NBC/Terry fucked it up when they tried to sync to the stadium clock.* - By LewisBullox September 7, 2026 at 09:58:28 AM
