[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1211039, member: 527609"] All of those times Central, so an hour later Eastern. The occasional 8:30 kickoff wouldn't be the end of the world. Of course, you could also blow the whole thing up and stagger the start times, that would be best of all perhaps. Let's make up a week of Big Ten games: 12:30 PM CT (FS1): Illinois at Indiana 1:00 PM CT (BTN - Regional Coverage): Purdue at Rutgers 1:30 PM CT (BTN - Regional Coverage): Minnesota at Northwestern 2:30 PM CT (FOX): Michigan State at Michigan 4:00 PM CT (FS1): Iowa at Wisconsin 5:00 PM CT (BTN): Nebraska at Iowa 6:30 PM CT (FOX): Ohio State at Penn State Who is not glued to the TV all day Saturday if something like that is going on every week? During the non-conference portion of the season there are way more games so you would likely have to stack them on the BTN overflows somewhere, but we're doing that now anyway. And you can juggle that to make room for a late night Pac12 game on FOX or FS1 or fit in a Big XII game somewhere or whatever. [/QUOTE]
