Most sports “news” outlets don’t exist to report accurate information. They exist to generate clicks and engagement, and for this purposes fueling the “clock controversy” checks all their boxes *

Thread:

All of this clock/video stuff is so confusing that most on the board don't fully comprehend it - By danny September 10, 2026 at 07:49:52 AM
- The truly simple take. The NBC clock was off by a second, as it can regularly be shown to be. - By plug September 10, 2026 at 09:44:48 AM
- The thing is... it's NOT confusing. - By weebay September 10, 2026 at 09:33:36 AM
- Part of the confusion is caused by NBC not owning up to their mistake, part of it is the byproduct of one set of rules for FBS - By mgaelster September 10, 2026 at 08:28:01 AM
  - This is a big deal because this is an issue that is going to happen again and again in college and the NFL - By syrfan September 10, 2026 at 09:14:25 AM
  - Absolutely nobody is criticizing NBC for having incorrect clocks. The villains are the B1G, who should have used an incorrect clock , and Michigan, who just played football. Drives me nuts. * - By Bluebuck September 10, 2026 at 08:38:22 AM
  - I think my biggest question right now is did the B10 use the program feed? - By Rich September 10, 2026 at 08:37:07 AM
    - The MAC commissioner says they didn't. - By Scooter September 10, 2026 at 10:23:02 AM
      - Right, but is his claim correct?* - By Rich September 10, 2026 at 11:36:16 AM
- I don't think a single national media outlet has reported it correctly* - By EricP September 10, 2026 at 08:19:18 AM

    - Correct. COnspiracies drive cllicks as Sparty fans seek out confirmation*** - By Cincywolve September 10, 2026 at 08:27:17 AM
- Agree, but the media's job is to investigate facts and communicate them. Nobody does that anymore - By Rich September 10, 2026 at 08:16:57 AM
  - What? Their job is to entertain and sell digital ads or the creative products themselves* - By harbaughdyssey September 10, 2026 at 08:36:57 AM
    - Some parts of the media hold themselves out to be news organizations* - By Rich September 10, 2026 at 08:40:18 AM

- i zone it out** - By kal September 10, 2026 at 08:03:36 AM
  - I pretty much watch every game on mute anyway, but this is definitely a mute for the time being scenario. Klatt and Johnson are going to be insufferable w it all pregame, and then at the end of every quarter. “Oh, is the quarter over or is there 1 more second.” They will be hideous throughout.* - By ameriKa September 10, 2026 at 08:05:26 AM
