Default Sports Question

Why do you suppose ABC's televised college football games use huge school helmets, varying the college names and colors on them, that are projected and rapidly spear the viewer to mark a transition to another field shot? Some of them also sink back at transitions. Spearing the helmet of another player gets a player tossed from a game. I ask since the most prevalent long-lasting injury to football players is concussions (I played eight years and had many). It strikes me as weird generally, and today especially as my Michigan is playing Rutgers--a quarterback was speared in the head and the helmet marker busily cut back and forth as it was discussed and the spearing player was sent from the field. Is someone in production nuts?

PS I sent something similar to the ABC Sports Camp and to ABC Sports.
