WiSioux Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 The home schedule and start times have been released. I feel as though some of you are not going to be pleased. Sept 9th vs Missouri St @ 4:00pm Sept 23 vs Montana State @ 2:30pm Oct 7th vs Northern Colorado @ 2:30pm Oct 21st vs Sacramento State @ 12:30p Nov 11th vs Eastern Washington @ 1:00p Quote
PATRIOT Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Under the cliche "You can't please everyone".....why the varying start times? Seems counterintuitive to branding a product.... Quote

Expand If UND Football wants their games on TV, there are only certain windows available set by the conference. And since we have a TV partner who pays UND, I'm quite sure (MidcoSN) would like to get the games they paid for, on. Of course I'm of the belief that having games on TV can have an affect on attendance, since it's so easy to say, "I think I'll stay home and watch". So maybe the answer is to have less games on television Quote
UNDColorado Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 The 12:30 start time may have to do with TV because there are three other Dakota D1 schools who have agreements with Midco. This would allow multiple teams to be on the main midco sports channel on the same day. Edit- I went and checked the USD and SDSU schedules and they are both on the road on 10/21. That 12:30 time is odd because 1 PM allows plenty of time between football and a 7:07 hockey start. Quote

It is all dictated by TV. The better teams in the B1G usually don't know the times 'til 10 days before the game. With the shifts away from broadcast television in general, live sports will get to be more and more important. Quote

Not saying we can do anything about it, but it is a legitimate point. Quote
