Morning kickoffs very well could be a part of the Pac-12’s future, just not in 2019.
The conference has opted against scheduling games this season at 9 a.m. Pacific time/10 a.m. Mountain time as a means of gaining exposure on the new FOX broadcast window.
Andrew Walker, head of communications for the Pac-12, said several schools are interested in playing early, but the conference couldn’t find “good options” over the coming three months.
The plan, Walker added, is to monitor whichever Big 12 and Big Ten games are slotted into the 9 a.m. window, then re-assess for next season.
