The early start time Cal had in Oxford didn't stop them from knocking off Ole Miss in their home stadium. Complaining about start times, no matter the motivation, is a bad look. That stuff is negotiated between the schools, conferences and TV networks, and Shaw knows it. If 9am PST games are a non-starter for you, make it a negotiating chip when doing the contracts to schedule and broadcast the games.

Shaw's not the only one complaining about kick-off times, from the Oklahoma AD on the OU/NU 11am CT kick-off

"We are bitterly disappointed that the great Oklahoma-Nebraska rivalry, on the 50th anniversary of the Game of the Century, will kick off at 11 a.m. [local time]," Castiglione said in a statement. "We tried every possible avenue to proactively make our case. The Big 12 Conference also supported our strenuous efforts to secure a more traditional time that would honor this game and our fans. However, in the end, our TV partner chose to exercise its full contractual rights and denied our requests."
