That doesn't seem very sensible as a default to me.  Given that myth
users are recommended to over-provision tuners, I'd expect that
programs following a sporting event should (by default) start
recording at the normally scheduled time, and stop recording at the
scheduled time + the length of time of the over-run.  That would give
the highest probability of catching the full program.  I'd much rather
record too much than not enough.
