Someday swap CBS for ABC?

With SEC network it's only a matter of time before CBS gets outbid by ESPN for entire SEC package.

to me, it's not the time so much as the xtra commercials cbs runs. it drives me crazy.

but, in La day games before late october are brutal. florida is worse; i don't think they play any night games (lack of hotel space in gainesville and surrounding areas). same with fsu.

Or if CBS is too smart to let the SEC go, what about them moving broadcast to 7PM?

Posted this in another thread, but just as useful here I suppose. I went ahead and drew this up and made some graphs.





And for people who don't like graphs here's the written up version.

I'm sure CBS would love that. ESPN would have something to say about it though.

Even if we had a weekly primetime slot, day games will still exist. The SEC wants to maximize viewers by spreading out the games throughout the day. They would simply add a couple of mid-afternoon timeslots to replace the 2:30 CBS game. The SEC does not want other SEC games going up against its marquee matchup.

But it would be sweet to have our big games in primetime.
