We also want to acknowledge the feedback we've received about the starting times of our games this year. We understand that night kickoffs can be challenging for some fans, and want to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support during a year with an unexpected number of night games.

We also understand that the practice of determining kickoff times either 12 or six days prior to gameday can create planning challenges. The Pac-12's current broadcast rights agreement, which helps Stanford to support over 900 student-athletes across 36 sports, provides our media partners with the flexibility to select the most attractive games for the most widely viewed television time slots. This scheduling flexibility creates significant value in the media rights contract and helps to generate resources that are used to support our student-athletes as they compete for Pac-12 and NCAA championships.

We will continue to do our best to communicate with you and mitigate the impact of these timing challenges and sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support.
