Excellent idea. But of course.... money

It would be great if home teams could set aside a single game every year in which the team, and not TV, set the start time. In odd years, Stanford could set aside Big Game; in even ones, it could be homecoming. Setting aside these would bring the "college" back to college football while still allowing the TV networks to have control over which games to air. Alumni and students could plan activities around this event. The conference could make decisions if several teams requested the same spot, or it could assign the spots. The most important part of this adjustment would be advanced notice.
