Change in Start Times?

[WishBone]

The Southeastern Conference is expected to stay with eight conference games through at least the 2025 season, sources told 247Sports.
The conference schedule model isn’t changing, but the start times will be as soon as 2025
Desiring an all-day SEC football feel, SEC Network game start times can now be pushed back 45 minutes to lead to more staggered finishes, i.e. moving from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. CT. kickoff time. A typical SEC Network slate would now look like 11:45 a.m. CT, 3:15 p.m. CT and 6:45 p.m. CT while ABC and ESPN games would keep their typical start times. The SEC and ESPN will have the ability to flex ABC and ESPN afternoon and night games a limited amount of times per school.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has been careful in his word choice regarding his schedule model preference, but there was a belief he preferred a move to a nine-game conference schedule after Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC. At the SEC’s annual spring meetings in Sandestin last June, the conference voted to keep the eight-game schedule but to revisit it for the 2025 season.
In July at SEC Media Days, Sankey said a nine-game schedule had “a lot of issues” including untangling already scheduled non-conference games with a move to nine-conference games. When Sankey looked at the 16 SEC school schedules, he came away believing “our eight-game schedule is pretty remarkable.”
“Like when we were going through the final filtering you’d say, wow, schedule A is tough and then you’d be at schedule G and you’re like, that school has got a tough schedule and all the way through,” Sankey said in July. “There are 16 really challenging schedules.”
