For the start of the men’s championship tonight. Don’t think I will stay late enough to see the end of that. Will have to record and watch the end later.

I will watch, but it is ridiculously too late. 8:20 would have been perfect.

Yeah, it's sports so I'll watch. Speaking of watching, the girls game had 17.1 million on streaming. To put into perspective, our game with Bama in elite 8 drew 7 million on TV.

Yeah, they try to get the kids interested in it too, then have the championship game at 9:20 on a school night. Crazy!

Up late last night celebrating your Lady Gamecock victory? And then the Gamecock baseball team drops out of the D1 top 25. Does that roller coaster get old?

You also realize this is a national broadcast with national interest. If it started at the 8 hour most west coasters are not even home from work. They are willing to take the hit from people who want to go to bed early compared to the millions who want to watch on the west coast.

So, the NFL, which is the most watched product in the country by a long shot, has it all wrong when they play every night game (Sunday, Monday, and Thursday) in the 8:00 hour?

Most people don’t work on Saturday and Sunday. I don’t see them playing the superbowl on Monday at 8.

They put great games on Mondays...
And Thursday NFL audiences, despite poor matchups, are still huge ratings draws. Why do you think Amazon is paying $1 billion per year for the rights?

Again as someone has stated a football game is twice as long and starts 1 or 2 hours earlier. It’s the same. Your argument just doesn’t have backing.

so they have to start a little earlier. The game tonight should be over around the same time as most Monday Night Football games.

Also tv executives are not dummies. They know them they will get the most eyes and they have statistics to prove it. Despite what you think that game time is set to gather the most eyes nation wide. Who goes to bed before 11:30. Jesus drink you some coffee.

Unless you’re trying to argue over 9 minutes the average bedtime amongst adults in the USA is 11:21 pm so try again.

Why does the Super Bowl start at 6:30? Seems odd that the biggest football game in the US does not start in prime time 9-10p??

When i was kid i used to pretend to be asleep and then i would get back out of bed around 9:30 and quietly watch it on a 9" TV in my room. The first one i remember watching was the Fab 5 vs Duke back in 91 or 92.

That stinks … I never have these kind of hours but have to be at work, downtown Atlanta, at 3:00 am … I’m going to bed around six.
Brother- in- law went to NC State so I guess I’m pulling for them.

Could care less seeing I will be out cold by 9pm.
9:20 is ridiculous and most working folks are in bed by 11:21. Where does one find the average bed time for the general population? TIkTok??

Reliable? You need to consider the demographics of people who wear fitbit. That is not an even distribution of age or lifestyle.

I’ll choose to believe that data until you produce evidence to the contrary. Fitbits were very popular before Apple Watches even if you don’t want to admit it. My parents had them and they are 70. I can also tell you I know way more people that are up till 11-1130 than go to bed before that. You just don’t want to admit that most of America is still awake during this game.

Yep. I’m paying for it all day the next day if it’s much later than that. If Clemson was playing I would be interested. Purdue and UConn not so much.

You're right, it is late.
And frankly for me, I'm central time, and 8:20 is too late for a weeknight. But then again, some would argue 6:20 is too early for West Coasters. Can't please 'em all but I've never been a fan of Monday night championship games.
