A Simple Question

[JDubyadawg]

I have a specific but simple question:
How much money or additional revenue will Louisiana Tech earn by moving the Grambling game from 6:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.?

My guess $0.00

[Tech52]

Probably just about getting it on TV more than anything

[DallasDog]

The lions share.

[Tech77]

Maybe lots and lots of ice sales.

Forecast says 103F. Y'all have fun in the sun!

[JDubyadawg]

It will be tough enough at 6 00 with those temps but 2:30 to 6 - I think I will miss my first home opener in 20+ years.

[PawDawg]

lsu game starts at 6:30

[70TECHGRAD]

We nearly melted in Austin at a 7:00PM game!!!! Who set up the kick off times for our home games this year, THE DEVIL????????? 2:30, 2:30, 3:00, and 2:30. WTF??

Does the NCAA have any weather related restrictions for games in excessive heat? Turf is gonna be dangerously hot!

[Bone_afide_Dawg]

This is an unsafe situation multiplied by the tens of thousands that could be in attendance. Whoever is responsible for setting this up or agreeing to it on Tech’s behalf as the host team has acted enormously irresponsible. If this is what payoff greed for a TV time looks like then shame on Tech for putting their fans and players at risk.

I have sat through miserable heat to watch good Tech teams, I have sat through miserable to watch average to bad Tech teams, but this offense isn’t worth the heat stroke. Especially for the poor opponents we have at home. I understand conference is out of your hands, but the rest of the home games just aren’t enticing.

[JDubyadawg]

Why is “conference out of your hands” the excuse for doing this? I understand what your point is, but that takes us back to my question. Why do we as season ticket buying , all day tailgating, fans have to put up with this crap? If we do, then the administration should be able to answer the question.

Is that what you call the NFL?

[tenacious_dog]

We live in an era where we let schools out because we "think" it might snow because of liability concerns. So I'm waiting for someone to get sick in the stands from the heat and sue a college, its conference, the team they're playing & their conference, the TV broadcaster and the NCAA for reckless endangerment and damages.

All it takes is "One call, that's all"
