[QUOTE="kingottoiii, post: 333469"]
I think that assumption is just internet folklore. If there was value in having games at 12, 3:30, 7, and 10:30 then why do CBS and ABC not do it? Why did ESPN not have more games on at 10:30? Why did Vs not try the NNBE strategy?
 
ABC noon games last year: 5 of 13 weeks
CBS noon games last year: 2 of 13 weeks
ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU late starts last year: 10 of 13 weeks
Vs late starts last year: 1 of 13 weeks
 
If there is value in it, then why has no one else been doing it? Why were ABC and CBS not putting on more noon games? Why was ESPN, with 3 networks, not scheduling more late night games? Why was Vs not using the MWC for West Coast PT games? It would make no sense for the above to be true, but NBC to see value and schedule 3 to 4 NNBE games a week. I can see them doing on NBC SN but not NBC itself. 
 
Also most of ND's home games are 3:30 starts. NBC is not going to have a NNBE game potentially run into the ND game. They rather have a pregame show than a game in that case. So NBC nooners will be out of the question for 4 to 5 weeks a year. Then you have the night games. ND will probably get 2 of those on NBC a year. The rest of the weeks are open but is NBC really going to put a NNBE game on in PT? There won't be many games worthy of that time slot. There will be some but not enough to have one every week. 
 
I think the idea of having NNBE games all get onto NBC is a fairy tale creating on the internets by NNBE fans.
