"Why does college football still do this? Russo said. They cannibalize each other! Oregon and Penn State, the biggest game in the Big 10 this year, is on NBC; and we at ABC put Alabama-Georgia on at the same time at 7:30? I mean, that's ridiculous! It's the SEC, Big 10 the best conferences. It's the two best games. Here it is, college football!"
"Some weeks, they give you absolutely nothing. You have no games to watch. NIU at Villanova, Penn State you got nothing! Last week, they gave you Michigan-Nebraska. Nobody cares! Miami-Florida, nobody cares! They got two big games and they put them on at the same time! he continued. Russo, a frequent enjoyer of cannabis gummies, added that he was going to be high on Saturday and didn't want to constantly flip channels with his remote, which he referred to as a dopey gadget. It drives you crazy!"
Two marquee college football matchups, Alabama vs Georgia and Oregon vs Penn State, were scheduled simultaneously at 7:30 p.m. ET on the same Saturday. All four teams ranked within the top 20 and three were in the top six. Simultaneous start times force viewers to choose between games and dilute live audiences. Fans expressed frustration over the decision to place two high-profile conference matchups in the same time slot. The scheduling pattern sometimes leaves weekends with few compelling broadcasts and prompts calls for staggered start times so viewers can watch both marquee games without constant channel switching.
