This is an absolute Joke and something has to be done

Nothing is going to change. TV pays our bills.

I just don't understand the logic. I get CBS's decision. I think they are a little stupid with how dedicated they are to certain teams, but they are consistent and it makes some sort of sense. But why in the hell have three 11am games, one 3, one 6:30, and one 7 (ignoring the CBS game, which is it's somewhat its own animal)?

If you can have 3 11am games, why not have 2 and then have an extra night game? I know TV pays the bills, but there has to be some consideration of fans that attend games. That's most of the league having relatively shitty start times for fans actually attending. You've got to have some of that to fill time slots, but it shouldn't be that bad.

The auburn ga game was third pick. CBS is showing bama am and they took that first. Then the espn 11 was second pick.

I didn't realize this was the CBS night game. So that's why there aren't more night games. I guess they have contractual rights that prevents the SEC from showing other night games and forces three 11am ctd kickoffs. I know it was big money at the time but how shitty has the CBS deal turned out to be for the SEC. A protected 2:30 timeslot is one thing. A protected night time kickoff was not something they should have agreed to, at least in hindsight.

I agree and I understand the reasoning, but Bama is probably going to blow aTm out at home. The only SEC games I see Bama possibly being a close game is @UT, and @LSU. They would have been better doing the TN/Bama game as prime time this year instead of aTm/Bama. Also, we lost our right to complain about game times after that turd of a 2nd half in BR two Saturdays ago. Win the next 2 home games and then we have more ground to stand on for the time of the UK game

I think this deal goes away after next year (maybe two years)
