I can't understand why CBS wouldn't start playing more SEC games at 7 pm. Who sits and watches anything but college football on Saturday night?

I suspect that whatever it is, the reason it isn't football (other than one Saturday night each year)is a contractual provision in the SEC's deal with ABC/ESPN (similar to the one in the deal with CBS) that precludes SEC teams from appearing on other networks opposite games being broadcast by ESPN/ABC.

It's a strange relationship between the SEC, CBS, and ESPN. At the end of the day, the SEC vault looks like this:

Holy frick, can we seriously get a sticky about CBS and prime time games. They do it once a year, its not that fricking hard to figure out.

Only 1 team schedules all of its home games at night, the rest of the world is not going to cater to the tailgating wants of one group of fans.

This is not a new development.

My thinking is Vern can't stay awake past 7:00 except once or twice a year. Old fart needs to retire or be retired.

Its part of a contract. What part about this do you people not get?!


ETA: Dont get all pissy and post this...

The reason people respond like this is because if you would just read the board and not post the first thing that comes to your mind. There have been 20 threads about this in the last 2 days.

College football isn't that highly rated compared to other things. Shocking to some on here I'm sure.
