In Reply to: For the 2nd week in a row, there are both FB & BB games on Friday posted by mh on November 12, 2024 at 20:07:07
I brought this up a few weeks ago.
Nothing we can do about the football game. Fox pays the big bucks for the rights and has total control over these games.
The Big10 Network had control over the Boston U. game. Don't know if we could have requested a change. The eastern teams have to make travel plans well in advance, so it could have been a problem.
Same for the the Lehigh game except it is on Big10+, so TV had the least control.
Most of the NCAA tournament soccer games are Friday, but a few are Saturday and USC plays on Sunday. I'm sure we could have requested a change.
The game dates and times for the football games were announced last May, so we had time to change the basketball games. If we had a competent athletic director, some of the conflicts might have been avoided.
