Late kickoffs are here to stay. The main problems I see with them are
1. Networks have 100% say in who plays in those slots, which does not allow conference to market its teams as it wants to
2. No limits on the number of times a team can be put into those slots. In 2015 IIRC we had late kickoffs (6pm Pacific or later) in at least half of our games. I think that contributed to both us not being in the CFP and McCaffrey getting jobbed out of the Voldemort Trophy
3. No limits on the number of games each week in those slots
These things were sacrificed to the almighty dollar, and I think it will damage the conference in the long term.
