Anyone have clarity why BYU frequently draws the 8:15pm slot on ESPN and

Because we draw well in that time slot.

It’s about arranging the Saturday games for maximum viewership across all timeslots.

It's a terrible spot for the most family friendly team in a 16 team league. It wouldn't surprise me if we had 2x more

No way. It's a great spot for families, especially in utah. Kids activities take up saturday day. For anybody with a kid

I agree with this. Hang out with family all day. They go to bed. I watch BYU.

Yeah these complaints fall flat. I'd love an 8:15pm start time.

6pm and 4pm are vastly superior. We are 9-0. We should have an earlier spot (especially in the winter - 7 year olds and

Mostly because of geography & population density.

So the people of Utah are dense? Lol! That explains a lot.

It is okay while above 45 degrees but lower than freezing sucks.

Chase

The reason the Big 12 wanted MT teams is to have games in that late window.

Seems to be BYU more than others.

Chase

12:12am

I think Utahs had 3 or 4. Colorado had it last week. Arizona has it as we speak

Late night start home games by team (it's pretty even)

Either way, it favors our team, so we should be happy

Just go to bed and catch the recap the next morning.

Haha. I will be at the game.

We are freaking vampires and werewolves. We own the night.

Not a lot of teams in the west who can draw many eyeballs at that hour

vagabonder

ESPN can’t have its SEC games at that late hour. Formula 1 is on ESPN late next

We're a western team on national TV in a country with multiple timezones.

It’s amazing how simple the answer is, yet people want it to be a conspiracy.

StantonMac

I’d love to just get a 6:15 start. You still get the LES after dark but finish before midnight.

LaserCoug

It’s late for those of us in the East, but I do get my nap in church

FordGuy

We're in the West & pretty typical for a Western team. We don't get more than others

Look at a map. We are a Western team. There aren’t a lot of teams more Western.

StantonMac

Incorrect, but give me all the night home games. LES after dark every game rocks

A big gripe of Georgia fans is how infrequently we have home night games and get
