NBC Sports / CBT: Bob Huggins and Mark Turgeon not fans of late start times for NCAA Tournament games
Someone needs to remind Huggins and Turgeon that the start time is to accommodate the TV networks, who make up the lion's share of college sports revenues today. And, it should go without saying, those revenues constitute a huge portion of their multi-million dollar salaries. Are they willing to take a pay cut for the sake of their players getting to sleep earlier?...
...I didn't think so.
That said, it seems a little weird that today a game that was played in Portland ended well before two other games in the Eastern Time Zone, one being played in Jacksonville and the other In Pittsburgh (and the Pittsburgh game wasn't even at halftime when the Portland game ended). Not that it matters as much on a Saturday, but still odd.
