Fans frustrated by NCAA Tournament's new broadcast schedule
Fans of March Madness are unhappy about the broadcast schedule for the next round of the NCAA Tournament. The tournament has reached the Sweet 16 stage, but the timing of the games has sparked anger among supporters. The NCAA has announced that four games will be held on Thursday and Friday nights. Games will start at 7:09 pm ET, with the last game beginning as late as 10:09 pm ET. This tight schedule means that all the games will overlap. Fans have expressed their frustration online. Many feel that the late start times, especially 10 pm, are unreasonable. One fan questioned why all the games are scheduled so close together. Another complained that it is unfair for some teams, especially those on the East Coast, when others have a time advantage. CBS will air the double-header on both nights. Thursday's games include BYU versus Alabama and Arizona against Duke. On Friday, Ole Miss will play Michigan State, followed by Michigan taking on Auburn. Other networks like TBS and TruTV will also show games from different locations. As the tournament moves closer to the Final Four in San Antonio, Texas, fans hope future scheduling will be more accommodating.
