Why did NCAA schedule such a long break?
Posted by prplhze2000 on 1/1/20 at 9:40 pm1117
Over two weeks. Why?

NFL playoffs to balance audience interests

How long do you think the break should be?

It gives both teams more than a week to install gameplans and an extra week to heal after a semifinal game which benefits LSU enormously this year.

A week or so.

They want the healthiest possible team playing for the championship ship.

A week for practice and a week for media obligations.

It’s just how the schedule worked out this year. After the semi-finals flopped when scheduled on Dec 31, they switched to playing on the semi’s on the closest Saturday to Dec 31. So, now we’re stuck with waiting this long.

TV ratings
if you remember, they tried to put the semi's on NYE and lost their viewership by half. I forgot what podcast I was listening to, but for this year they were able to move the semi's up a few days to put them on a saturday, but were unable to move the championship game for some reason. The games, times, locations are set years in advance, dont want to compete with NFL and playoffs.
This year is supposed to be an anomaly

Still doesn’t make sense though. Last year, the playoffs were on Dec 29 and the championship game was Jan 7. Looking forward the next six years the latest it will be played is the 11th and as early as the 5th.

I do not mind the layoff. I just wish the game was played on a Saturday night.

Clemson hasn't had to heal after a game all season until the last one, so yea benefits LSU more
