At night there are 40 basketball games playing at the same time along with up to a dozen NBA games and up to a dozen NHL games. Not counting prime time television shows.
The competition is fierce .
I would imagine a live basketball game every day even if it’s something minor like DePaul vs Temple would beat out programs like around the horn and his and hers etc...
Sign up a deal with a mid major conference or 2 and play a nationally televised college basketball game every day at noon.Depaul vs Temple would get much better ratings at noon then it would at 8pm when it’s competing against 40 other cbb games and a dozen NBA games.
The attendance at the actual game would be slightly lower but the real money is in the tv deals anyway and this would more then make up for it.
The student athletes would not get home from a road game at 2am and have to be in class 5 hrs later.
Everyone wins.
The student athletes , the networks, the sports books.
Everyone
