Just updated my schedule with the latest KO times. So, it's bad enough that we have to play mid-week beginning as early as Oct; but now, on the Saturdays we are permitted to play, we have all but lost our 7:00 starts. Of the Saturday games in the GB only one (1) was a 7:00 start. We have three noon starts and 3:30 for Homecoming. I never minded a day game once in a while, but this is too much, especially noon.
If you're a morning person you might not mind, but after 23 years of being awakened at random times throughout the night for work, I am permanently not a morning person. (Yeah, I know... ) That aside, it is sad to see Saturday nights in the Glass Bowl go by the wayside. What's next?

I agree totally. I understand not wanting to compete with the larger schools but I suspect ESPN is the main culprit.
Here’s an idea. The group of five start their own sat network. Also their own division and their own playoffs. Problem solved.
Here is a real dumb idea. After the contact with ESPN is over we shop the other networks for a better deal. The SEC, THE BIG, or FOX ABC CBS there are a lot of options
