Probably a reflection of P12 not playing ...

[surly]

The Kansas football team will have to wait all day on Sept. 12 for the Jayhawks’ nonconference matchup with Coastal Carolina, set to begin at 9 p.m., the Big 12 and KU announced Tuesday.

The abnormally late start time allows the Jayhawks’ 2020 debut under head coach Les Miles to air nationally on FOX Sports 1. LJW

That's a terrible kick time. I suppose TV still rules but that's really unacceptable for a kick time. There should be plenty of good time spots available. As if there are any viewers this year on the West coast that are going to care.

Lol

but they are on FS1 and not FS2, Foxsports Midwest or the Ocho. I assume FS1 games pay better

Isn't television revenue is shared equally regardless of the carrier of your games.

I'll probably watch it.

At least KU is a team not allowing any fans, so it at least makes more sense they chose that game. Granted, it wouldn't have taken a mandate for there to be no fans at the KU game. I really hope ISU doesnt get that time slot at any point this year, but I'm not too confident.

Well at least they are playing a west coast team.





Imagine being a Coastal Carolina fan and having your game start at 10 pm local time.

Same. It's football. I'll watch it. What else is on at that time? Guy Fieri? No thanks.

 

[JM4CY]

Coastal Carolina, never forget.

Coastal Carolina, never forget.

I had to listen to that twice to figure out what he was saying at the beginning of it.

 

[HFCS]

YES! FS1 looking out for me and the massive pacific coast audience so hungry for our Coastal Cackalacky football fix, need it in prime time so bad. They came through.

Big 12 AFTER DARK BABY!

I typically catch at least a portion of the P12 games so this is just the same thing.

I'd assume the reason for doing this is to 'create' that sort of all day football feeling.

Exactly. The game will be done close to midnight. 13 hours of football for a populace that's beyond thirsty for the content.

So they are upgrading their programming from P12 games?

Kansas started this no fans at football games a long time ago. Like they knew what was coming and were practicing for this very occasion.

 

[heitclone]

My Saturday nights in the fall typically end watching p12 or MW so I'll probably be watching. I would never want ISU to be involved but I'd take a game in that time slot to watch every week.

Yes but the pot probably gets bigger for everyone when a game goes on FS1 vs FS2 vs FCS or whatever they have these days.
