No inside knowledge, but I’m guessing it’s because we’re not a top-tier team and don’t bring in the primetime TV ratings that other teams do. Therefore, TV dictates that we play earlier in the day.

It is a reflection of our mediocrity and also the dual abc games (one @ 1230 the other 330).
There have been some decent 1230 games this year – fsu-louisville comes to mind.
I think that the 1230 game may be driving some of this. Not sure but perhaps there was a better time slot before the advent of this.
While I prefer 330 or later, I know how to tailgate for a 1230 game..and it leaves you with the opportunity to enjoy the 8pm game and be ready for church next morning.
I could quip that it is the MSM & ESPN (run by a UNC Grad) punishing us for being RED and that the BLUE schools get better time slots….
But probably based on ratings and we don’t rate that high….The FSU game was driven by their prestige….not our W/L record..
It’s because we suck.
Is a 12:30 game with national exposure better for us than a 3:30 game without? I’d say more exposure is better for the program, whatever that means these days.
Also, as Chop said, I know how to tailgate. Lining up a well-stocked bloody mary bar, breakfast burritos and hash browns fresh off the grill, and whatever else I can muster up.
Perhaps the ACC saw how our fans were taking the results this season and decided to save our collective livers by cutting down on our consumption time. No worries, I’ve outsmarted them. 🙂
Here in the Central Time Zone it’s 11 am kickoffs. Making the 20 mile trek to the Third Ward is bad enough. I can’t imagine people that travel 3 hours each way.
It’s because we suck.
