if they can get them to max at three hours, they can add a game to major TV

Yup, these two changes might be enough by themselves to shorten the games enough

This is the worst aspect of soccer. Soccer needs to change this rule

I wish Texas HS football would limit halftime to 20 minutes. But no, they have

Can they just cut out halftime marching bands? Bring in standup comic instead?

Good. Fix halftime. Then, don't stop the clock on every 1st down.
