Ain’t gonna happen.
Imagine paying seven figures for a Ferrari. It’s one of those deals where you never get to leave the track with it and you have to reserve track time to drive it.
By God, you don’t want to get there one afternoon and be told that the track owner really doesn’t like his track being driven by exotics at night and that you’re going to be driving only minivans until the sun sets.
The networks have made a serious investment…the kind of investment that entitles them to exclusive rights to the LSU game at prime time or not at all and anything in between if that’s what they want. Period. If LSU wants to tinker with that model, they’re crazy.
Not to mention that the five star recruits want maximum exposure, which means playing whenever the networks will promote the opportunity to watch.

It's not being suggested that we act unilaterally. We can't. We shouldn't.
The TV deal that the SEC negotiates is supposed to be a win-win. If the conference collectively decided to ask for more latitude in game times for us as our tradition, do you think a network would walk away from millions in profits so we could have another night game?
They aren't stupid. We just need to get the other schools in our corner.

Why are nights 7-10 PM referred to as "prime time?"
