In recent years CU has done all kinds of weird (dumb) things in scheduling in order to be on TV. Due to the big 12 setup, CU received their payout based on the number of TV sets that watched the Buffs play. Now that we are forfeiting 80% of our big 12 TV payout in 2010, does Bohn say “Screw you guys, we are playing every game on Saturday at 1:30!”
Last year we had the god awful set up of a Sunday night game followed by a Friday night game, which I believe helped add to our poor performance on TV. Bohn realizes this year is about the w/l record, not the fact we were on TV 10 of 12 games. I think this year we will have nice start times to every game, and will do as little as possible to get the game on TV. In fact I would say it is in the Buffs favor to make sure that if people want to see the game, they go and buy a ticket instead of staying home and watching on TV.
