Yes, how much of that long history has UCONN had 2 Saturday home games in a season? How many weeknight games started at 6:30 and not 7/8/9?I don't get the problem. UConn has a long history of weeknight Top 25 match-ups in the XL.
I'm sure that all the older and/or retired fans love the early start time and early end time.I've been complaining to my father (Big husky fan obvi) how I hate the 630 weekday starts.
I haven't found a single person that likes them.
Is this a Big East scheduling issue? I dont remember 630 starts in the AAC but i could be misremembering.
I don’t get to many games, so I’ll be the guy who says it helps me get to bed a bit earlier. And even if going it gets me home earlier.I've been complaining to my father (Big husky fan obvi) how I hate the 630 weekday starts.

FOX does them (Big East), ESPN rarely does them (AAC)I've been complaining to my father (Big husky fan obvi) how I hate the 630 weekday starts.

There's absolutely something to be said for consistency of time slots for TV purposes. I know exactly when to tune into Fox to see games.However, they do it even when it isn't necessary: for example, if UConn is playing in CT and the game after is Creighton or Marquette or DePaul in the central time zone, theres no reason for the east coast game to start early. A 7 ET and 8 CT start time for 1st and 2nd games is perfectly find and everyone wins.\
Better than the 9pm starts in the old Big East.I hate 6:30 starts, wish the Big East would move back to 7/9 starts but TV numbers always rule the world
or the 9PM starts in the AACBetter than the 9pm starts in the old Big East.
Yes, Christ, this is what Fox wants. Most weeknight games are scheduled for 6:30 or 9:00. It gets Fox 4.5 hours of programming of Big East ball instead of 4. I don’t like games starting at 6:30 either, but presumably the conference thinks the inconenience is worth the dollars.I've been complaining to my father (Big husky fan obvi) how I hate the 630 weekday starts.

My guess is that since games don't finish in the two hour window anymore, 7 and 9 starting times don't work.I've been complaining to my father (Big husky fan obvi) how I hate the 630 weekday starts.

You think the difference between Saturday and Sunday games is minimal? Are you retired?I don't get the problem. UConn has a long history of weeknight Top 25 match-ups in the XL. And are home Sunday games that different than home Saturday games? People love to bitch.
