Is this even legal?

NBC to use five shorter breaks to accommodate Notre Dame's plans for offense - ESPN

Notre Dame is having NBC alter the flow of the game to favor their no-huddle offense.

I know that this is not moral or ethical, but can they even DO this legally? Seems like it's blatantly favoring one team over another.

It does seem a little strange. But what other team has their own network? I don't like it, but i guess NBC decides how long the breaks are??

Yet another reason why I can't stand Notre Dame. I can only hope for continued mediocrity out of them.

I don't see how this affects the game. It only affects the TV coverage of the game.

Huh!? Even Kelly admits that they're altering the timing a little bit to accommodate their style of offense. I don't think it's a huge deal, but it just goes to show how the domers act like they're above everything.

Yep they are getting NBC to shorten the TV timeouts..

If ND ever got in to OUR B10 I think I would be sick for a year

Shorter tv timeouts equal less rest for a D and a quicker flow to the game.
