Why is Michigan/Ohio State always so early?

As big a game as it is, wouldn’t it be much better at night? Yes, I know it’s traditional because I remember it always being early, even as a little kid. But c’mon man, they need to make it a night game. Is there any good reason to have it so early?

Tradition. And no.

Ohio State didn't have actual full size stadium lights until the 2000s
So at this time of the year have to start at noon not 330
They did end up playing the 2006 game later with lights for TV on ABC. But Fox gets biggest ratings at noon

It’s fricking cold in Ohio and Michigan in late November

They don’t know how to properly do football up North. Subpar football propped up by the media.

Not good enough for the prime time slot

night game in late November in ohio is a bad idea. game starts in full daylight and ends in daylight.
last year in Michigan it snowed during the game.

It's actually a good thing. No reason to go against the Iron Bowl or other rivalry games. I bet the SEC is fine with Ohio State/Michigan game being at Noon. It's not about who would win the ratings. It's about getting the most viewers for both games.

Because the game usually sucks and you want it over early.

They can’t afford all of the electricity costs associated with lights. All of their jobs left for Mexico.
