No, that a previously done deal when it happened.

Will CBS negotiate with ESPN to make the LSU/A&M game a 7:00 primetime game like they did in 2011 for LSU/Bama?

Here's a question for you anti-conspiracy kooks:

Why does CBS or anyone else for that matter, have to seek permission about the timing of the LSU/TAMU game? If CBS has the "rights" to broadcast it, would they not do so when they thought it in the best interest of the network, whatever that turned out to be?

It's called a contract.

A contract between whom? Who are the signatories?

The SEC and CBS of course. The SEC also has a contract with ESPN.

The SEC negotiates a TV deal with the networks, then each school votes on it. If it passes, SEC schools and networks must abide by the contract.

Bama will only have one loss to. They won't be left out of the nc game with one loss. ESPN and all their other Saban mistracies will see to it.

if it ends up being #1 aTm versus #2 LSU, then I can see some bargaining happening. IF it's #4 vs #6 or so, it'll be a 2:30PM game

Probably, but it has plenty national appeal and would get amazing ratings:

So I was listening to Brando a couple of weeks ago. He said that since the 2011 contract negotiate for that prime time game, CBS now gets to pick out one game in November in which they get to broadcast at night. Brando said that traditionally that is LSU vs. Bama, but it doesn't have to be. So if LSU v Bama is a 2:30 then look for TAMU v LSU to be at night time possibility.

Again this is what I heard from brando so take it for what its worth
