Yes, don't get me going on how the money has ruined college football. CAL (and Stanford... my 2nd school) often has to travel to the East Coast to play ACC division games so we might get 9AM start times or if Fox wants to televise home games, they can start after 8PM. If it is a regular ACC team playing at CAL, it is 11PM kickoff on their local clocks. I doubt college budgets and study needs allow days to get over jet lag mixed with a late or early start.

I loved the old system when I was in college where you wake up, sober up from Friday night, eat a big dorm breakfast then go to the game and party there and into Sat. night... Now 36 or so years sober, I still enjoyed the 1PM games and hate the 8PM start times for home games because I try to get to bed by 10:30 the latest on Saturdays and I think some games went until 11:30.... and hard to get to sleep if they were exciting.
