BYU Hockey vs Football

What makes a sport great? From an entertainment media perspective, what makes a sport great is having lots of action and frequent breaks to play advertisements. Football hits one of those two criteria. There are many frequent breaks in the game that seem to last for a lifetime. It is an advertisers paradise. But football fails to hit the first criteria of a great sport, which is to have lots of action. Viewers get bored watching football because the ratio of action to advertisement is so low. Hockey meets both criteria for a great sport. There are frequent stops in play for icing, penalties, and other stoppages. There is just enough time to fit in three or four 30 second advertisements at each break. It is also a fast-paced, action-packed game. There are always people moving on the ice and scoring opportunities every few seconds. The action-to-ad ratio is much higher than that of football and possibly of any other sport. So BYU should replace their football program with a hockey program.
