ESPN bought the rights to the games. They then sold some of the games including this one to other media players.
The network that owns the right to the game decides the date, time of game and the channel that the game will be seen. The conference and the university have to be consulted to prevent conflicts with scheduling but there is minimal that they can do to influence scheduling.
The contract the AAC has received was really poor from a monetary standpoint. But the exposure factor is probably as good if not better than any conference.
There are some lousy times and there are some games on CBSSN but it is a significant upgrade from last season. And the video quality has significantly improved.

Would have loved 9pm starting time for Khalid El Amin; but for whatever reason it's not a good time for this year's team.

Does anybody, you know, look at a calender, when they schedule stuff? Why would you want to play a home game which won't attract students?

This isn't unique to the AAC. Providence played Butler at home last week and had a 9:00 pm start. What is most annoying about this is CBS Network has garbage programming on from 7-9 tonight, we are being bumped to 9 for no reason.

LAst night I was stoked for UConn hoops. At 8 oclock I put away laundry. Got some clothes for a donation. Did some cleaning upstairs and than at 8:55 sat down for some hoops and was ready to jump in a chat room. I start scrolling and see no UConn. Like, wtf? Went to UConn site for the game coverage and see CBS Network. Flickd to CBS and saw Moorhead State. Now I'm thinkin' WTF? Went to Yard and saw no activity.
Oh, game is tonight?
