CBS simply cannot move up the primetime game. The doubleheader is always late in the season because of contract agreements


Wanna bet that CBS could have chosen ANY week they wanted to be primetime?

quote:

CBS has the rights to 12-15 regular season games and the conference championship. Up to two of those games can be non-conference games. CBS will always have the top choice of SEC games on a weekly basis.When CBS does a doubleheader that includes a primetime game, CBS can choose the top two games on a given weekend. When they do a doubleheader that includes a 12pm game, it must allow ESPN to reserve two games before selecting their next game.

Yeah ill take that bet...

This has been explained time and time again on here. CBS simply can't move up which week is the doubleheader simply because they want to. It has to be over special circumstances.
