You know why attendance is declining? Television mandated kickoff times. Earlier and earlier, hotter and hotter.

so going to the game in the same conditions and time people tailgate in is a problem? amazing how sissified some poeple are.

Isn't there one local Attorney that's a big L.S.U. fan that would be willing to file a class action lawsuit against the SEC/CBS? Something needs to be done, even if it's symbolic in nature.

I'm just trying to come up with a reasonable "Cause of Action" that would be accepted by the Courts and be moved forward. What about some type of "Restraint of Trade" argument because all those BR area businesses that depend on the income generated by LSU fans all day before a NIGHT game are losing out financially when a game is moved to afternoon. There are other issues that I'm sure a competent lawyer could come up with. I just want to see something be filed to show the SEC/CBS that we're "Mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore."

Any BR area attorneys out there that might offer an opinion on this? Is there any possible "COA" that might be accepted by the legal system? Would be awesome just to show the SEC/CBS that we're not going to just sit idly by any longer and put up with all this BS without a fight!
