Likely the biggest game of the Pac-12 season is being played at 10:30pm Eastern on a Friday night. Thanks, Larry Scott you are a putz of the highest order.

Larry Scott is overpaid, but I am not sure this particular problem can be placed on him.

For TV broadcasters Thursday and Friday even after East Coast prime time are more valuable than Saturday after prime time.  And all three nights after prime time are more precious, rare and valuable than Saturday late afternoon East Coast time.

Some might wonder if the Pac-12 deal was lucrative enough, but the highest bids for any process would be linked to those late night broadcasts.  If the Pac-12 AD thought about the process they should have understood the best bids would come from those seeking late night programming, and therefore should have requested a limit on those broadcasts....IF that was important to them.  I don't think it was, so that's on them not Scott.

Ironically, the only games in the mid afternoon are often on the Pac-12 Nets.  Larry Scott probably is to blame for the Pac-12 Nets, but without those channels the Pac-12 would have no afternoon games at this point as most broadcasters value the Pac-12 for its ability to host live events after the other conferences have completed their events for the day.
