I guess I just don't get the people complaining about the later start times. The game is on national TV, which is most important. Getting back to campus at 4AM or 6AM really doesn't make a big difference, IMO.

I'd like to see fs1 do a version of big mMonday. Big east game early followed by oac 12 game

Just something different than the norm. And when a coach leaves the way Buzz did, trinkets like this are thrown out there. The 3 games in 5 days (Thurs - Sat - Tues) was probably a bigger issue than the 3 games in the late window in eastern time zones (both of which were new this season). But with ADs doing much of the work instead of the conference office as the conference got started, things were a little hairy. I am looking to see how things work out with a year under their belt.

that would be 3 in 6. But we did have some 3 in 5's I think(Thu/Sat/Mon). It will be interesting to see next year for sure. I can't imagine that Fox will go for much less than they had this year quite frankly. Though for some, there were real long breaks in there(didn't Creighton have like a 11 day break in there?)

My error. I meant Th-Sa-Mo. Just going too fast.
