The tv schedule last weekend was awful. On Saturday and Sunday, you only had 2 of 8 games completed by 4:00 PM. That meant that the final games of the evening were starting around 9:30 CST. People on the East coast, and people in the CST aren't staying up that late on a Sunday night to watch these games.

Spread them out more evenly throughout the day.

You can thank CBS for that... There must be something in the NCAA tv deal that lets CBS have three games on their own on the 1st weekend... If you look, They were the only network showing games until like 6 ET....... As far as this week. Its all about TV ratings and if they show games during working hours you have less people in the stands and less people watching...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

That's the funny thing about Turner networks joining the broadcast. We as fans got what we wanted -- the ability to watch every game. The problem is, you're kind of sick of games by Sunday night and it destroyed the excitement of overlap we used to get where CBS could just swing it to the exciting games when others were bad.
