In fairness, nobody was delaying sporting events at that time.
Now, CBS and all of their owned stations run a delay on all live programming.
My personal feeling still is that CBS didn't know what was going to happen, but MTV, who produced the halftime, may have. They just cut away too quickly for a human reaction. Of course there's no way to prove that.
Remember, too, that this came during all of the uproar over the "decency on the airwaves" thing when the FCC and Congress were all worked up over the shock jocks.
As I did point out before, the FCC is getting back at CBS through their owned stations because that's where their real power over the networks are. You notice nothing has been said to MTV because they don't broadcast over the air.
