Why do the Women get THE BETTER TIME SLOT?

Don't you have opinions? If I want to see something, I'll suck it up and stay up. But am I not ALLOWED to prefer that they'd play it a different day or time? It's just an OPINION that I don't like that time slot, why does it bother you THAT I SAY IT?
I don't agree, you're ridiculously false, I know plenty of people that don't watch those games because they don't care to stay up on a work night where they need to get up early, but would if it was earlier or a different day.
I have a pair of those, they are a yellowish color, with a nice pocket on the right side for my phone.
Lots of people said in this thread that they’d prefer the game to have tipped off an hour or so earlier.
Then I'm not necessarily wrong. Most people on these boards are sports diehards who will watch it whenever they are told to, But there are people that don't but would, given a better time slot.
You realize, I hope, that the TV networks do not care whether people in Pittsburgh would prefer to have the game start earlier. They only care about which time slot is going to give them the largest national audience. And they have decided that 9 Eastern is that time.
Because this gives the men a day off.The NCAA Women's Final was played Sunday 6PM, Men? Monday 9PM. The women have the better spot, like the Super Bowl time slot! The slot where everyone can watch at a reasonable hour and the game is over by 10PM. Monday at 9PM sucks, always has. I haven't watched the game for years, just because I have work in the morning and Pitt is never in itbut I think I'll stay up this year, I want to see if Gonzaga goes unbeaten. But YES 100% Women's time slot > Men's time slot
Not everything is meant as a slight.
I have to hand it to you. No one is more willing to put their ignorance on display and then double down on the stupid quite like you are. You should be proud of that.
But thinking that CBS is leaving potentially TENS OF MILLIONS of viewers out, viewers that would more than double their ratings, and therefore more than double their ad rates, and therefore make them truckloads of money, is even dumber than just about everything SMF has ever posted on this board.
Maybe its you that's stupid, maybe all the people you know are sports obsessed and will stay up all night for any championship game. I know a lot of people that would watch it, but don't because of the time slot. I'd prefer Stanley Cup Playoff games to use regular season OT rules. I never stay up for a SCP OT game because it might take all night. I'm sure I'm not the only one that turns those games off.
When you think something completely different that everyone else, including the people who literally have BILLIONS of dollars at stake, you might want to consider that it is possible, I mean sure, not likely, but just slightly possible, that everyone else, including the people with BILLIONS of dollars at stake, know just a little bit more than you do.
You don't have to "know more" to have an opinion that you like one time slot over another. And it's a fact that a lot of people don't stay up for those games on a work night. Maybe there are more people that wouldn't watch if it was Sunday at 6PM, I just don't know any.
Has he even considered that many fans on the West Coast might not watch the game if it began on Monday at 3 PM in the afternoon (Pacific Time) instead of at 6 PM (Pacific Time)?
You are absolutely correct, you don't need to know anything at all to have an opinion.
Which works out good for you, in so many instances.
Are the Pacific Time people more important? If we have to lose a segment of people why the ET people?
I'm not saying Monday at 6PM, I'm saying Sunday at 6PM like the Super Bowl.
Forget about what the Networks and the billionaires want, if you could make the decision, would you choose Sunday 6PM or Monday 9PM?
Today I'm wearing cargo sweat shorts. It's funny how some of you think NORMAL clothing is odd.
Given the choice? if you could make the decision, would you choose Sunday 6PM or Monday 9PM? Just curious? So you prefer Monday with the tip coming like 9:20PM?
Monday at 8 (Central time zone, baby!). I don’t like having stuff on my agenda on Sunday afternoons.
Obviously, the ad buyers think 4 hours of has-beens droning on about the 4 walk-ons on the Gonzaga bench, etc. is interesting. So they'll buy time that is cheaper than the ads on the game.
Capitalism at work. I watch NO talking head shows about any sport. Frequently record the actual game so I can watch it later w/o commercials.
Ok, just a different opinion. I'd rather have Sunday or earlier Monday. My question never was "What is the best time to show the game that favors the TV networks?" It was only about what day or time do you as an individual like.
Your opinion as noted
Doesn’t matter
The networks like the final four on Saturday and title game on Monday
It’s why they scheduled it that way
Which gets to the real question. It's not "do you prefer the Championship game on Sunday or Monday?", it's "do you prefer the Final Four/Championship to be played on Friday/Sunday or Saturday/Monday?"
Personally I prefer Saturday/Monday. And it's pretty obvious that the television networks and the advertisers do too.
