The Pac 12 should do a couple marquee match ups at 9. Not regional or ESPNU, FS1 bullshit. But ABC, ESPN or Fox. Everybody bitches about the late games and the overall lack of exposure for P12 football. This is the only way you can get the Midwest and EC to watch your conference plain and simple.

80% of the dawgpack are casuals? If we have a rocking top 15 team they won’t show? It’s gotten worse than when I was there for Owen/early Sark then. We still had lots show up. First time I’ve felt old on this site haha.NEsnake12 said:

The older crowd that stopped attending games because they don’t want to get home at 1am? They’d be back. The bandwagon ‘football-is-a-social-event’ younger crowd that wants to be elsewhere Saturday night? They’d attend in much greater numbers. Hardcore fans? Home by early afternoon and can watch the all of the other CFB games the rest of the day. Casual fans? Can still have most of their Saturday to do dumb non CFB things.
The Dawg Pack would be 80% empty for a 9am kickoff. Students, especially those who only go to games for the social aspect, aren’t going to wake their asses up that early on a Saturday. Same goes for most early 20s fans. -
You really think the students are getting up in time after being railed the night before? Fuuuck noSwaye said:

Said it before, say it again: The problem isn't the late starts. The most rockin' I've seen Husky Stadium at Alaska Airlines Dick's Burger Field was for night games against Stanford, USC, and Oregon (one out of three wins ain't bad!...). Yeah, the late starts eliminate a lot of the octogenarian "sit down, young man" types, but they're not exactly getting the place riled up anyway. The late crowd is younger, louder, and weeeeeeell lubed for a late kickoff.
The problem is bringing in shit teams that nobody has any interest in watching. That can't be helped with 81% of the PAC-Shit, but it's definitely something that can be helped by doing EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what whoever scheduled this year's OOC did.
As far as 9:00 kickoffs, it's genius if your top priority is television audience. If Washington were playing any ranked team at 12:00 in B1G/SEC/Big-12 land, that game would be on every single television at every single tailgate east of the Rockies. I think it would be shit for attendance, but it seems local attendance isn't even on anyone's radar anymore compared to TV numbers. -
The reality is that most of the casuals would rather watch Netflix hungover in bed than make it to the stadium by 9am.Gladstone said:

Wilner's proposal would mean one 9AM start every 3 years. Big fucking deal.
