What's funnier about it is that it's noon ET, which most of the B1G isn't part of.  So an 11am kickoff for a big game is fucking stupid. 

Historically 6 > 4
Now 10 > 8

ABC started putting their big games at 11 AM Central over 20 years ago.  They only occasionally had a primetime game back then.  This is nothing new, at all.

Heck, for four teams in the B1G, that's a 9AM kickoff... Obviously they'd only be on Big Noon Saturday if they're traveling to an eastern time zone team, but that's early for a lot of their fans.

I think it was initially 3:30 in the early 90s.  Then it shifted to primetime in the mid 2000s

Yes I'm sure.

As AAA pointed out, the national game was at 2:30 central and the regional games were at 11 AM central in the 90s.  Then it reversed in the early 2000s, I once tried to pinopoint it and it was 2003/2004 as I recall.  But it didnt shift to primetime, ABC often didn't have a primetime game back then.  National game was 11 AM, regional games were 2:30, and the occasional big game would be in primetime.

That started over 20 years ago.

I definitely recall primetime was 2:30 PM for the Big 12 and 11 AM was the regional spot.  Amazing, there were a lot of Big 12 games that never made it to TV, including some all-timers between A&M and TT.
