While it's been previously posted that the 1/31 game against BU at their place is scheduled for 5:00 PM (presumably for the "national TV audience," I just checked the schedule and that's the only game with the time of play,
Fully cognizant that covid can impact (wreck havoc?) on the schedule and also knowing that the likelihood of live fans in any games is minimal, if the PL has the dates set, why not the times. Yeah, the games might be postponed or cancelled but if you're going to set the date and location, why not the times too, so that we know when to tune into ESPN+? You can cancel or postpone a game even if a time is "set."
What am I missing?
(Yes, I anticipate some replies along the lines of "it's the Patriot League, what do you expect?" but other thoughts?)

Yes, I think its been posted on CBS Sports Network rather than ESPN+ and presumably that's why.
FWIW, I just fired off an email to Marcus. Let's see what he has to say.

Marcus’ response:
“ . The game times are in the process of being set. Since most of the travel is same-day travel, home teams are working with the road teams to negotiate suitable game times based on travel times. These should be set soon.”

A prompt reply, especially for a Saturday and also the day after Christmas.

Had the same thought and because he exceeded my expectation, I responded to him: I think there is a "Wanted Poster" with my picture in the AD's office.  |

Games moved due to “cadence”. What the heck does that mean ? Even if it refers to testing cadence, what the heck is that ? |

Why are the games still at 2PM. I'm a retiree, but I understand that there are still people that have jobs that might like to watch the game.

Shows how much respect the PL gets nationally... It's a web site that allows multiple broadcasts that don't have anything to do with one another. The only thing I can see making a difference is if the officials have conflicts. |
