Well believe me I am not the only one that thinks the riding time rule should be changed in college. I have read it suggested by many including Cael Sanderson.

The purpose is to get more action into the match. People say we need more action to attract more TV viewers and that most TV viewers do not want to watch wrestlers ride another wrestler on the mat for a minute or more. And this is basically the same thought that you are expressing that watching a wrestler sit on the bottom with a l point lead drives you crazy.

I would like to see more scoring in wrestling period. I do not necessarily think we should completely eliminate riding time in college wrestling but how about giving a wrestler a point once they have built up a minute of riding time and then putting them on their feet. Also put in the pushout rule and I think that would increase scoring. I am pretty sure Cael Sanderson was in favor of that too.
