For instance, when a college team gets a first down the clock stops until the ball is placed, essentially buying time for the offense. Unlike the NFL in which the 2 minute warning is the only way to stop the clock (excluding time outs or stepping out of bounds). As for the departed Arena leauge rules, that was implemented to compete with the NFL considering their montra is to be faster and and more explosive than the national leauge.
