It’s usually scheduling games for television that’s the hold up. If an outlet holds the rights to a game, they get some say as to what dates it can be played. After all, the outlet has to move people and equipment to the venue and logistics have to be considered. With UConn, multiple outlets need to weigh in, so it bogs the whole scheduling thing down.
Then there’s the schedule of the opposing teams. Their logistics need to be taken into account as well.
It’s why we wait so long for the schedule - unless you guys want to go back to untelevised games?
